Newby - More than one chord per bar
Hi all,
I am new to MuseScore. I am creating a score that is at 4/4. I want to know how to enter more than one chord per bar. Your help is much appreciated,

Hi, New to musescore, look at the book https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input
You can have as many chords as you like, just depends on the duration.
Or do you mean Chord symbol? Or voices?

Thanks for your reply. I have a feeling it may have something to do with the 'measures' which I am learning about. But essentially I'm trying to insert a chord on the 1st beat and 3rd beat in each bar. Currently I am only able to insert one chord in each bar on only the 1st beat

Chord (notes) or chord symbol (like ""Amaj7")
For the former check the handbook page on Note Entry, as proposed further up.
For the latter read the handbook page for Chord Symbols

Sorry I forgot to mention it is the chord notes I am trying to enter. I will look at the handbook under Note Entry, thanks

we want to help but you must answer and help us !!! read the book, and put a picture of what you want, with a pencil if you want. You say "chords" but it's clear for you, but , for us, it's severals things, and so, the answer is difficult. Draw it and show us
Assuming you mean chord symbols, just press Space after entering the first, it auto moves one beat forward. So press it twice to move from beat 1 to 3. Also semicolon does this. The difference is semicolon always moves to the next beat, Space will stop on each note, so if there are sixteenths notes, iit moves only that far on each press.

Sorry I didn't mention it is the chord notes I am trying to enter, not the chord symbols

for exemple, if you want to enter , in a 4/4 measure, 2 chords (notes chords) like C-E-G on the firts beat, and C-F-A on the 3rd : first choose the duration, 1 time or 2 times. I suppose 1 time, so tape 5 or choose the quater note figure, click the measure, Tape "N" to enter in "input note" enter your first note : C . Tape 0 (zéro) the cursor is on the 3rd beat, enter the first note of your 2nd chord : F . If you stop here (tape N) you get a measure with 2 notes , 1 on beat 1 and 1 on beat 3 . Click the first, tape N, the C becomes blue you can enter 1...2....3....how many you want of notes . When done, go to 3rd beat enter how many notes you want , in the 2nd chord . When finish, tape N
