I am trying to beam together a dotted half note to a sixteenth note... help?! It won't work :/

WHy would you want to do that? That makes no sense musically. Quarter notes can't be beamed - only eighths and smaller note values. Perhaps you really mean a dotted *eighth* note and a sixteenth? That would be the most common pairing. That combination should beam together automatically.

I have a similar problem, but with a Eighth/16th rest/16th note figure. Essentially I want to "wrap" a beam across a sixteenth rest. Very much like a dotted eighth/sixteenth, but without the dot, and with a sixteenth rest in between.

Example: Happens a lot in Shostakovich 5, first movement, particularly the trumpet parts.

Doing this in finale is pretty easy (it does it by default on note entry). Musescore wants to beam the 16th with the *next* eighth note, like a pickup note to the next beat.

Using beam properties from the master palette has not helped so far.
