It depends on exactly how you are entering your notes.
I recommend this to every new (or "new-ish" :-) user I communicate with. Take an hour or two and simply read the entire Handbook (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4). Don't try to memorize it! Just skim through it and familiarize yourself with the contents! But read it all!!! Then you'll have an idea where to find things when issues come up in the future. "Didn't I see something about that in the Handbook?"

Pay close attention to the section on https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/entering-notes-and-rests and the section on https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/editing-notes-and-rests for your particular question.
Welcome aboard and best of luck!!!
