Also note that "Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould which is regarded as a reference in term of music notation best practices specifically mention (p52) : "Semibreves, minim and black noteheads should be kept separate from each other". This is exactly what MuseScore does by default.
And Elaine Gould adds in "Behind Bars" (p307, unisons): " It is an accepted keyboard (and harp) convention - and we can undoubtedly add the guitar, other polyphonic instrument - that notes of unequal duration may share a notehead in the context of repeated patterns. The shared notehead saves space, especially when one or both parts had dotted notes. A minim can double as a beamed note. A dotted note and a note without a dot may share a dotted notehead. " -;)
Just look at some guitar publications to find that this practice (this convention) is the most widespread, and far ; I would say almost exclusively.
For the record, the first attached picture was taken from a famously study for guitar of Fernando Sor (1778-1839). So, I recognized immediately, and it is written with this manner.

Hello,
Not the slightest problem!
So:
- Begin to display the Inspector (F8) -> select the D and F eighth notes -> change the note head type by selecting Half value
![note head type.jpg]( "note head type.jpg")
Result: the D are overlapped and the F is in half note, like wished.
