notating a cadenza
I am arranging/transcribing a contemporary concerto movement with a long written out cadenza for solo violin. Several of the measures have 5 or 6 beats /many of which are in 32nd notes. (score is 4/4)
I just don't ask the right question in the search : "add beats to a measure" sent me to format>style> and very intricate layers but that changes the page - I just need a couple random measures with the extra beats.
Comments
Right-click on the measure, select Measure (or Bar) properties.
Change the "Actual duration" to whatever you want.
If you're not sure of the exact duration, estimate a bit longer, enter the notes and then delete any redundant rests (with [Ctrl][Del]).

Thank you so much - I printed it out .
But why can’t I find these instructions -
I go to MuseScore.org - sign in
Support - online handbook -
and put it in search
But I’ve not been able to find many things -
Strange unrelated articles come up that happen to include the words randomly-
Like a simple request -
What’s the kybd shortcut for staccato so I don’t have to go up to the palette with the mouse and enter note mode again -
Any help is greatly appreciated -
