Note lenght messed up
I wrote a short song of mine with MuseScore, a simple Melody with just one staff.
I wrote directly on the staff, not using a midi keyboard.
When i played it the notes weren't played on time, some too early, some too late, very different than what I wrote.
I checked the Piano Roll and noticed that the Sofwtare has changed the Lenght of some notes, by its own.
Out of a lenght of 1000 some notes were 750, other 950, playing it very Messy.
It was similar to the "humanize" effect found in some software but of course I never asked for that effect.
I haven't found any answer to this problem.
What can it be?
You can see by the picture that the notes have different lenghts and are misplaced.

There's really very little we can tell from just a picture. If you attach the actual score there is a much better chance we can understand and assist.
My guess is that maybe you added swing text to the score, or there are articulations changing note lengths, or you are writing for piano where the default is something like 95% of notated duration so that slurs or tenuto marks can make a noticeable difference.

Here is the score, very simple.
I hand't selected "swing"...
When I started the work I choose Violin Clef.
How Should I start a new work to have the 100% duration and no changes?
What should I select?

That's not a score, it's a picture :-).
As mentioned, for piano it's the norm to have notes be slightly shorter. So don't choose piano as your instrument and you will normally have 100% by default. Change the playback sound to piano in the mixer if desired.

You were Right
For a Mistake I used the SWING text box to Write Chords Names.
Fixed IT
I didn't know that that TEXT option also affected the way it plays.
Thanks

It often does, yes. For chord symbols, it is best to use the actual chord symbol facility (Ctrl+K, or Add / Text / Chord Symbols). If you go to Format / Style / Chord Symbols, you can tell MuseScore you prefer using solfege names over letter names, then it will understand these properly, meaning it will correctly transpose them, play them back, export them to MusicXML, etc.
