Notes of different duration in a chord
On page 35 of the Muse Score manuals it says 'To create chords with notes of different durations, seeVoices." How do I do this for the piano accompaniment section of a score?

Do as being told and see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices
Hi, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices A voice in this sense is an independent line of music and has nothing to do with your vocal chords, so it is applicable to any instrument capable of playing more than one sound simultaneously, or where more than one instrument is notated on the same staff.
Hope this helps!
My putzy method...let's say I have a whole note in a chord and two half notes. I put in the two different half note pitches and then use two half notes with the same pitch for the whole note. Then click on the first half note that you want as a whole note and click on the tie symbol to make the two half notes with the same pitch become a whole note without deleting notes in that chord.

Use Voices. You get four per stave (per instrument) and each can have individual notes or chords of different duration to to the others.
A chord, by definition, is some notes of same duration played at the same time, and, for half notes and shorter, attached to the same stem.
But you can have overlapping durations, by means of using voices, notes/chords with separate stems
