how to write multiple tied notes with minimum number of voices
Hi, I'd like to know how to enter (ideally, with a minimum number of voices), the score from the score excerpt attached, in the bar with my annotations.
The time signature is 3/4, the upper stave is treble and lower is bass, and we're in B minor.
I probably don't understand what's going on there, I'm missing something. I'm a beginner in reading music (and Musescore as well). As I read it, voice 1 is fully notated, and so is voice 2 (starting with the two rests), but there appears to be a third voice for the last crotchet F(#). But that's tied with a previous note, so I'd assume that's part of that voice, except then the second voice is not complete. Or something.
In any case, how can I write this is Musescore? I'd appreciate an explanation of what's really going on in that measure, but I appreciate people might not have the time for that. Thanks!

I beleive the half notes belongs to voice 3 (beat 2), as the only voice 3 note

Thank you for the reply, I still don't know how to write it. Either way I look at it, and try to write it in Musescore, the tie between the last two Fs seem to jump a rest and doesn't fit.

The ties on the last two Fs are piano writing shorthand. In reality the first F would be played as if it was a dotted eighth tied to the quarter note. Musescore will replicate what is in your picture if you add the tie to the first F after you have entered the second one. I agree with Jojo that the half note is best placed in voice 3.

Thank you Steve!
Is the following what you mean, in terms how each voice is supposed to be sung?
I still couldn't figure out how to replicate the original, if I try to add a tie on a previous note, it just overwrites what follows.

Enter the notes in first - untied. Then get out of note entry mode (press Esc). Then while not in note entry mode select the first note and press T (or in MU 3 +) or use the tie button in the toolbar to add a tie to the next note This works no matter how far apart the two notes are.

Thanks. That works -- at least in one voice, then I can flip the note to look like in the original.

Both of these only use 2 voices. The only difference in the second one (as opposed to the original is that the stem on the last D is up and not down.
Actually, just now in the second measure, I selected the last D and changed it to voice three. Then I reversed the stem. Now it looks like the original.

Did you mean to attach or link to something. Otherwise sorry but I don't get what you mean.
I'm very much surprised of the quick and many replies, I'm really grateful. I'm a newbie though, so I really appreciate you bearing with me.

Sorry, My brain is faster than my fingers. Although both are pitifully slow.
