5 voices?
Hello,
I have looked around but couldn't find if there was anyway of writing 5 voices. I have attached a picture of the passage below, and I cannot figure out another way of doing. If anyone have suggestions, this would be great, thanks.
Cheers
Fernando

It looks like you actually need six, if the very lowest note is counted.
If it's "only" five you need (again not considering the bass note), the two highest notes can be done together as a chord (using only one voice of the four that MuseScore has available) since only one of those two uses the grace note.
There *may* be some clever way to use cross-staff notation for the bass note that allows the "note" to be seen but make the staff it's associated with not visible, which would then give the result shown in your attachment.
Context is King; it's hard to tell from the small sample you provided if a given solution might work in that limited space, but be unusable because of some other reason that's not apparent from your picture.
Good Luck!

Thanks Marty,
You are right, I would actually need six, but I thought if at least I could have 5, I would do those two top notes as you mentioned.
I have just attached the previous bar as well, if you could think of a clever way of doing it, it would be great, thanks.

You cannot use 5 voice in MuseScore, so if you want to notate it then you are going to need to change the way some of the notes are written.
Perhaps like this.
I used rather arbitrary voices and adjusted my stems and ties as needed.

Thanks Mike, that was very good, but would still want to see if I could use that bottom E as semibreve, even if it is just looking as semibreve. My plan B would be photoshop!

If you need an explanation let me know.

Thanks, I guess I got it. You simply change the head of the bottom note to semibreve right? Ingenious!

correct. Along with hide stem, replace with line...

The stem on the first half-note is not placed properly according to the pic.

I'm the Picasso of Musescore art, what can I say.

Just 2 voices version.
with same result...

@faguera, waiting for underquark, only for aesthetic purposes, my two cents ;-)

I prefer Ziya Mete Demircan's solution as most elegant for this unnecessarily overcomplicated way to notate a standard guitar passage. Perhaps the last stem up would be look nicer.
But I also respect your question about "how" and not "why". Perhaps the original notation would tell me to give each note more "value" on its own.

Thanks Ziya, you are right, the same result and even easier to read it. Mike's suggestions suites me more in this case. Thanks anyway!
