Adding more notes on new lines
Can someone explain how on earth we are supposed to add more notes on new lines? I'm not talking about the symbols or any other weird shit literally just LINES. I have 3 lines with 15 notes on each. I want to add more notes that also has 15 notes on it too. How do I do that?

In the top menu, choose Add -> Measures -> Append Measures... and choose how many new measures you want. In case it's a localization thing, what we call "measures" in US English are "bars" in some other dialects. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#append as well as the rest of the page for more information on adding measures to a score.

You are a life saver thank you
What do you mean by "line"? Do you mean a continuation of a piece by adding measures or adding another instrument bellow existing ones? Posting your score would help.

Literally just the basic definition of line in any english essay, you have notes on one line with treble and bass clef. And you want another line of notes that is the continuation of the 1st line (this is piano by the way).

See above and add more measures. And maybe system breaks.

Unfortunately, music isn't English, and there are multiple meanings of "line" here. Each staff has five lines, for instance. A "grand staff" for piano has two staves, each of five lines. If your music is for piano plus voice, there is a third staff for that part. The three staves together make up a system.. A system is read left to right, then continues below in the next system.
So probably you are referring to a system - you want more measures after whatever you have. But you might also have meant, you want to add more staves to your current system, like to add a second voice part or a flute or whatever. Or maybe you're writing for guitar and you want a six-line staff instead of five.
Anyhow, to get more systems, simply add more measures (via the Add menu). The music automatically wraps around to create new systems as needed. Just as in a word processor, words wrap onto a new "line" automatically as soon as you have too many words for the current line.

It is there, but in GB English rather than US English. So for "Bars" read "Measures".
[Edit] But now you deleted the picture so my comment makes less sense.

The differences between British and American English can indeed be frustrating when discussing musical terms. I hope that this diagram helps a bit?
You will not find the word "line" anywhere on this diagram:
• stave or staff refers to one specific part (voice or instrument) - here 4 in lime green, for SATB
• system refers to one line of music for all the voices and instruments - 1 outlined in yellow

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/glossary might help here too, it lists some more (15 in total, currently, marked with "(AE)" and "(BE)".
