Too many notes in one line
when inputting a note in one starting point, the starting point moves forward. Moving back to the original starting point and inputting more notes results only in added notes(say original was one note, then add two notes to make three, not replacing the one note with the two new notes).
Continuing this results in an incoherent jumbled mass of notes.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Nick B.

Thank you for your reply.
So I'm on the wrong voice such as 4? I make sure its 1.
If I keep entering notes on a single vertical starting point, it would become additive, not subtractive and replacing. So C1E1G1 + C2E2 becomes C1E1G2C2E2 chord instead of becoming C2E2 chord alone.

What note input mode are you using.
If using the computer keyboard, typing C, shift E, Shift G will give you a chord. If you type C backspace E, the E will overwrite the C. There is some info missing.
You always want to enter notes into voice 1. If you are using multiple rhythms at the same time you normally add the voices in order (2 then 3 then 4), but that's not what it sounds like you are trying to do.
I'm also having trouble understanding what you mean, but have your read the handbook or watched any of the tutorials to learn how to enter notes, chord, or multiple voices in MuseScore? Or, check out the following...
