Making corrections to a B Flat clarinet part which I have scanned (using Capella scan) before I can transpose it for strings
bonjellos (https://musescore.com/user/27014) sent a message: I have transcribed a clarinet in B Flat part onto Musescore 3 using Capella scan8 and although most of it has come through the process reasonably well I still have quite a few minor alterations to make before I can transpose it. E.g. please can someone tell me how to insert an extra quaver between 2 existing quavers which are already connected by a beam? I will also have quite a few more questions to ask so how do I contact the relevant forum for technical questions of this nature ?

Difficult to tell without a score, but I guess instead of 2 8th notes you really want a triplet over a quarter note, 3 8th with a triplet number over the beam

Thank you so much. No, this is really something much simpler. It's just that during the transcribing process one note (which happened to be a quaver connected to two others by a beam) was omitted altogether and I don't know how to re-insert it

That is not simpler ;-)
There needs to be enough space in the measure to hold an additional 8th note.
Here "timewise insert" comes in handy.

Thank you very much.
I will look at timewise insert.
Please could you recommend a basic tutorial.
I am very new to all this.

I have had some success thanks to your advice but as there are such a large number of corrections to make to the transcribed score I realize that it is too complicated for me, at my beginner stage, to make it note-perfect.
I would, however, like to know how to delete an incorrect key signature. The first movement is written in C major and for the first 30 bars or so it has been transcribed correctly but after that it inexplicably goes into G major (F sharp in the key signature). I feel that as long as I can maintain the right number of bars and the correct key signature I will be able to transpose the score and print it off. Then I can (hopefully) correct the outstanding errors with Tippex. I know this is "cheating" but I hope this will not cause offence to the Musescore community.

I have managed to eliminate all incorrect key signatures except one. It is a naturals sign at the end of a line (almost off the page) just before bar 46 and I don't know how to get rid of it without getting F sharps suddenly appearing in the key signature on the next 3 staves.

I would suggest that you attach the PDF the score came from and tell us which measure you are trying to fix. Giving a measure extra beats is quite unusual.

Thank you very much, mike320.
I will have a go at fixing the problem once I have looked at timewise insert and if I can't do it I'll attach the score
