Entering pitch and rhythm with a MIDI keyboard

This seems like a rather basic question, but I'm not finding the documentation quickly....

I'd like to be able to play with a metronome and have MuseScore notate both the pitch and rhythm of what I'm playing. The modes I've found so far simply let me input pitch according to a set rhythmic value - and to change that rhythmic value I would have to change that manually. Is this possible with this software?

Thanks!
