Triplet against duplet
Is it possible to have a triplet against a duplet? Say I have a treble clef stave in which the lower part is in crotchets and the upper part in triplet quavers? I may have missed something obvious, but I don't seem to be able to select just one of the parts in order to "tripletize" it.

Not 100% sure whether I fully understand you question, but you may need https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices

Thanks. I have two voices, but one needs to have duplets and the other one triplets. So can I select just one voice? It seems to me that when I try to select one they are both selected.

In the screenshot, both voices are selected, so you can't turn just one of them into a triplet part, or can you deselect one of them?

I have just worked it out! Instead of selecting the bar, I just need to click on a single note and turn that into a triplet. Thank you anyway

Selecting a measure is not how you enter tuplets in the first place, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook-notation/tuplets.
You select a note or rest, if not the case already make it having the correct overall duration, then hit Ctrl+3 to turn that note or rest into a triplet.
Edit: I see you found out by yourself ;-)
