adding another part above the bass notes (as tenor)
Most of the music is solo voice with accompaniment, but in certain places I need different rhythms, such as would be in an alto or tenor voice while the bass or soprano is held. I don't understand the directions in the manual. Thanks as always for your help.

Use voices. Each staff can have up to 4 voices in it. The top voice is always voice 1. In the case of a staff with tenor and Bass, this will be the Tenor voice. Voice 2 will be the Bass voice on this staff. Doing this will make all of the stems for the tenor to point up and bass to point down so there will be no question who sings which note.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/voices if you haven't already.
I think the easiest way is to create a second staff. The score will be easier to create and then sing.

And tenors generally are notated in the g8vb clef instead of the bass clef anyway…
