Delete button doesn't work
Hello there!
I am new to using musescore for my music and one thing is bothering me because I don't understand it.
When I want to delete something I would mark it, maybe several things, and press my delete-button but nothing will happen. I always need to rightclick and press delete.
My second question is how to transport notes from different instruments.
I have a template of a piece for piano. I have added a new instrument above and now I want to cut and paste some key notes to my new instrument. When I rightclick "cut", then vanish, but when I go into the place and rightclick "paste" - nothing happens.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you are in re-pitch note input mode. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input#note-input-modes. Let us know if this helps.

no it didn't.
Also, when I cut off some notes it leaves the bar with breaksinstead of notes, thats awful, how can I avoid that? I mean the bar isn't empty, why should it show breaks for the imaginary musical voices of one instrument?

You need to post an example score (.mscz file) and explain what is happening and exactly what you are doing.

"Something" is too general a term - a musical score has lots of "somethings".
So... using the attached example, what specifically can you not delete in it?
For example, write: "I can't delete the composer's name" and enumerate the exact steps you follow so we can reproduce your actions.

The attached example (for piano) has a new instrument (flute) added. Can you cut the second measure piano treble clef notes (so they vanish) and then paste into the flute staff? (I have already done measure 4.)
Also, what OS (operating system), what version of MuseScore?
A good forum procedure is:

CTRL+delete to delete a measure. Delete on its own just deletes selected content leaving the measure in place but without the deleted content
