about base notes on piano

how can I play the piano and write the notes directly and correctly, the notes of the bass, in the position of the bass key?
Playing to a rhythm, is the recording of the notes done with the rhythm that I play on the piano?

Thanks
I connect the electronic piano writes the notes but, the notes of the bass are not written on the stave of the bass and it shows a lot of confusion.
I do not find why he does not write different notes e.g. the whole, the half, the fourth, etc., he writes them all the same, although I play them differently on the piano

In the default step-time note entry all notes are indeed entered in the selected duration.
Read onwards to https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input-modes for semi-realtime modes (actual realtime is better done in a different program currently).

As for why we don't automatically distribute notes between bass/treble staves: your keyboard doesn't know the difference, neither do we. There is no way to tell whether a note was played by the left or the right hand.
If the have a decent pitch spread, you can use "Split staff" on the treble staff after having entered your notes.

Realistically, it is going to be faster, easier, and more accurate to enter the hands separately rather than depend on any sort of automation to guess which hand played what.

As for the rhythms, I think you will also find it is usually faster, easier, and more accurate to select the duration of each note as you enter it, as described in the Handbook. But indeed, the real-time modes as described do exist and can be useful in certain cases.
