Changing notes from 16th notes to 16th note tuplets
So I've transcribed an exercise for guitar that was played in 4/4 as 16th note sixtuplets. I accidentally wrote it out as straight 16th notes in 3/4. So, my hope is to: (1) change the time signature from 3/4 to 4/4 (which I have done) and then (2) select six note groupings and have musescore notate them as 16th note sixtuplets. Is there a way to do this, or would I have to rewrite the entire piece? I have included the way I incorrectly transcribed it (Titled Steve Morse Arpeggio Exercise), as well as what I am looking to change it to (Example1) as a reference.
Thanks for your help!

What is your goal? Proper display as in your example? Proper playback? Both?
There is a way to get proper display without proper playback but it's a bit convoluted. Otherwise you will need to start over and you won't be able to copy and paste either.

I really just want the proper display/notation, I don't care so much about the playback. If I have to rewrite the whole thing I just won't bother, I was hoping it would be just a somewhat simple formatting change.

You can change the time signature to 6/4. Right click the time sig and select time signature properties and change the beaming to groups of 6 and the displayed time signature to 6/4. You now only need to put the 6 on the sextuplets. The easiest way to do this is to create a custom workspace. Add a staff text that consists only of the number 6 and move to to the correct position above the notes. Once you are happy with this, press ctrl+shift and drag the 6 to a palette in the custom workspace (maybe text or a new palette). You can then select several notes at a time to add the 6 to. Select a note, ctrl+click to add to the selection then double click the 6 you put in the palette. You may need to move a few of the 6's, and it's possible you may need to move all of them on a singe line. If this is the case, you can select several of them using ctrl+click and move them in the inspector. BTW, I would not start by putting the 6 on the first line. Since there is a time and key signature the measures will most likely be different than the rest of the lines and will therefore need to be moved.
Like I said, it's a bit convoluted but it will display correctly and go much faster than starting over, especially if the etude is very long.
