Your question does not make sense. Can you post a score with the problem and explain what you expect?

Trying to move a whole note C below the staff to the right. The note moves but the ledger line stays in place to the left creating a long ledger line. How can I move the note and the ledger line?

How are you moving the note?

Look at bar 10. The C note on the bottom of the staff moves but the ledger line does not.

Why such an outdated version? Current is 2.1, in between there was 2.0.3 and esp for Mac 2.0.3.1

Use inspector's chord offset, not the note offset

I've upgraded to 2.1. I've used the inspector to move the chord. I have no problem moving notes or chords but I can't stop the ledger line from stretching.

I'm a bit concerned, though. Normally, it should virtually never be necessary to move a note. Generally, the situations in which you might feel the need to move a note really should be solved another way entirely, and then things would just work. In the sample score you posted I don't understand why you are moving the chord in measure 10 to the right. Is it because you are wanting to create space for a student to write something in there? That problem could be better solved by adding an invisible note there, and then the spacing takes care of itself. It's also not clear why all the extra clefs are in so many of the other measures, maybe you are trying to create room for a student to write a clef in here as well? In that case, why not add the clef yourself but mark it invisible? And so on.
Bottom line, if you explain what it is you are actually trying to do here - the reason you are trying to move the notes - chances are good we can show you how to achieve the desired results more simply and directly.

Thank you for the reply. The reason I'm moving the notes is for spacing and balance. I'm preparing a chart of various chords and I want the bars to look similar. I received my answer which is to move the whole chord using the inspector...so I'm good to go, however since I'm new at this, it means a lot to have received so much help. Thank you Marc for your response. I'm sure I'll hit a few more more bumps as I go along...it's nice to know the help will be there!

Can someone tell me how to cut and paste sections from musescore to a word document. I'm using 2.1 and a macbook pro, however I'm new at this plus I'm not a computer expert. If there is a simple way to do it please tell me in as simple terms as possible. Thanks

For small sections, click on the camera icon at the top of the screen and highlight the area you want to turn into a picture to put into word. If you want entire pages, export the score to PDF and add the PDFs to Word.
