3/4 Time
Why is it that in measure 45, there is a half note and a quarter note and it's ok but when I try the same thing for measure 46, it puts in a half note then an eighth note and ties it to the next measure. Driving me mad but not a long trip. Thanks

Exactly what key stroke sequence are you performing?

In 3/4 time you need to place the quarter note on beat 3:
Follow the step described above.

I must not have explained it too well. Why can't I do the same as in measure 45? What my score shows is a tied eighth note to measure 47. I want it to be just like measure 45 but it won't do that. I copied and pasted measures 29-31 and that worked somewhat. Trying to figure out the note input is quite a puzzle. Trying to add rests, etc.. I tried tieing measure 45 f note to the g but it went 4 more notes and tied it to another f. Thanks for your help.

In your image,there is a minus sign over measure 46. Not enough beats. That measure is fine in the file you posted. However in the score you posted, measures 17, and 39 don't have enough beats. Noted by the minus sign.

Aha, any way to get rid of minus signs? I tried highlighting and deleting, no go. Thanks

You don't want to delete them. You need to make those measures three beats. Is this a PDF import? this happens sometimes. Anyway, right click on the note input icon. Select "Insert". Add a dotted quarter note to measure 17 and a quarter note to 39. Then change notes as needed.
