Measures

• Apr 27, 2021 - 22:04

When I enter the correct number of notes in a measure, for example eight 8'th notes, the measure does not end. Then when I hit new notes they do not go into the next measure. What am I doing wrong? Isn't this calculated automatically? And if there is extra time in a measure, isn't it supposed to fill in automatically with the correct rests? Thank you

It seem you have probably enabled the Insert Mode of note entry. This is used for special purposes when one does not want the number of beats in a measure to follow the time signature (for example when writing a cadenza). The default Step Time note entry mode maintains the measure length as specified by the time signature, exactly as you are expecting. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/note-input-modes
