incorrect timimg
I 've looked on the internet but cannot find a solution to my problem.
You will see from the file attached with reference to bar 2.
The score is in 6/4 time.and ostensibly there should not be a problem with what is written.
However, there should be distinct triplets at the front and at the end of this bar. You will see that muscore has attached the fourth note (d) and the eighth note (b) to the end and start of the two triplets respectively.
When the music is played the first triplet is playing as four quavers, the last triplet is also playing incorrectly.
Can you help me here?

Timing seems perfectly fine here; check the status bar with those notes selected. It shows beat 1, 1.33, 1.66, 2 for the first four notes, just as expected.
If you want to break the beams notation wise, use the 'start beam' property on that forth note and on the first note of the last triplet from the Beams palette (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/beams#beam-icons)

So do I double-click on the 'start beam' icon?

Yes
Well, the measure in question is 5/4.
But see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/beams and also https://musescore.org/en/handbook/time-signatures#change-default-beaming

If you had played the bar you would hear what is wrong here.

As I wrote; I didn't hear anything wrong, that does imply that I did play, or does it not?
It plays exactly as notated. If you want it to sound differently, you'd have to write it differently

Yes, I agree. I've now separated the fourth and eigth notes correctly. It plays exactly the same. So it was playing the triplets correctly even if the score looked wrong. Thanks for you reply.

I played it and the triplets sound like triplets. I added an instrument that plays sustained notes and everything lines up perfectly.
