How to add three triplets with whole notes in the same bar?
I am trying to convert a Gershwin song using the software by converting a PDF-XML, and there is one bar that is not recognized by my OCR software. I am wondering how can I add this bar in MuseScore 4.
I am not too familiar with the music theory here.
The first three notes are 4 beats, so the software is not allowing me to add the 3 triplets behind it, also how do I add the rest mark above the three whole notes?
first time posting here, really appreciate your help.

In addition to that, you may like to set the rest and the triplets to "small" in their properties.

Thanks so much for the help from both. I did not notice that was treated as 2 voices. in the same music, one of the voice above does not even add up to the full 4 beats measure, I cannot make it the same as the written. any idea how this be done?

Thanks Steve,
The heads are all so small and it did not register to me that the 3 notes are grace notes. Thanks so much for your pronto responses!

Yes, true, grave notes after might be an option here too
But voices are more likely ( see that quarter rest above the whole notes), and setting these triplets to small.
