Inserting additional note without overriding
Is there an insert mode where new notes can be inserted or duration of existing notes lengthened even when a measure is filled? The existing notes that come after the inserted note(s) will be shifted forward all the way till end of the piece and if there is inaufficient measure, a message will be prompted to correct error/add new measure or any new measure will be added automatically.
Currently, the program is using an override Mode where the remaining notes are shortened in duration or truncated to make way for the new notes.
I know this question has been asked a few times before in this forum several years ago but I will like to know if this feature has been included?
Also, if I am using a MIDI controller, can I audition a set of notes on a keyboard without the notes being entered? Also, will the duration of the notes be determined by how long i hold the key in the keyboard or do I have to specify the duration using computer keyboard (4 for quavers)?
I am considering buying a MIDI keyboard to help me in composing and inputting notes in Musescore.
Basically, I am looking for a software which will help in melody composition and notation. Musscore seems suited for notation from computer keyboard or mouse only.
Thanks.

Rather than try to guess how many notes you want to move, MuseScore makes the process more direct simply select the notes you want to move (whether just one note, all notes to the end of the measure, all notes to the end of the piece, or whatever) and then move them yourself via cut and paste.
MuseScore does support MIDI input, but only in the same one-note-at-a-time method as with computer keyboard or mouse, where you select duration first. I personally don't find MIDI more convenient than computer keyboard, but some do. It's going to be personal preference, but the same basic process either way. Note there is also the on-screen piano keyboard (see View / Piano Keyboard).
