How to insert note between two notes in measure without erasing current note
Hi.
Im new to muse score,
Im trying to insert a note in a measure in between two notes.
I cant figure out how to insert a note in between without overwriting the note in the space i want to write in.
Is there any way to space the notes over to the right so that ill have a space to write a new note between them?
Heres a screen pic, with the note i want to write in red.
The current solution i found which is not practical in a large project was cutting out all the notes from that space onwards, writing in the new note, and then pasting them after that. but im hoping theres a simpler way to do this

You could use insert mode but be aware that adding a note there also increased the duration of the measure.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/alternative-note-input-methods#inse…
Cut and paste even of long sections is no problem really. Click on the first note, Shift +Click on the last note. CTRL+X to cut. select the destination and CTRL+V to paste.
Also, your score already seems to have problems (unless you really want the measures to have unequal durations): note the grey minus signs above measures 3 and 4. That indicates that their duration is shorter than indicated by the 4/4 time signature. Thus measure 3 is actually 15/16 and measure 4 is 9/16. If you right click in the measure you can adjust the actual duration to match the nominal duration - see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/measure-properties#measure-duration

To me it looks like measures 2 and 3 are shortened in duration.

Disregarding the OP's red note, I count:
...with measure 2 actually 11/16 and measure 3 actually 9/16.

Yeah thanks for pointing that out! I didnt realize that happened.
I tried to delete out certain rests using CNTRL+DEL and didnt realize it threw the measures off.
I right clicked now and resized the measures
I think that what will answer your original question you will find in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/working-multiple-voices. This is not going to (particularly) fix your existing problems.
