how to move the selected notes to another voice
Is there a way to move the selected note(s) between voices?
In this image there are two tied notes (both D) in voice #2, which I'd like to move to voice #1 where the rests are. Is this possible?
BTW in the image the text S. Sax and Pno. are huge, but in the musescore editor they are small text. There must be something fishy about the screen shot, but that doesn't really bother me at the moment.

Select the notes (for example, hold down Ctrl and click);
Click the icon of Voice 1 in the note toolbar.

nope, that doesn't work. Are you sure that works with tied notes?
Here is a copy of the score, please see measure 34

Select the measure, Filter (No Voice 1) -> Edit-> Voices /
Exchange Voice 1-2 ?
but you can remove the tie

In this case the length of the tied notes in voice #2 is more than the length of the rests in voice #1. Maybe that's why it refused to work?

What is "Filter (No Voice 1)" ?

BTW I don't want all the notes in a measure exchanged between voice #1 and #2, just certain notes.

There are two issues at play here:
1) The tie. For some reason, this makes this method impossible.
2) The notes in voice two have a greater value than the space they are trying to replace; i.e. 1/16+1/8 = 3/16 (second voice) > 1/8 = 1/16+1/16 (first voice). If you change the value of the second beat in the second voice to a sixteenth note, then you can use the method I linked above.
Alternately, in this case you can just enter the notes in Voice 1 manually. I understand that in a more complicated scenario, this is not the most effective method.
