Multiple independent overlapping beams in a measure
I use Musescore the create accompanying music for my voice practice. I've started a new file for Harašta's aria "Déž sem vandroval" and immediately got in over my head.
If you look at the image of the score I provided, starting at the bar with 6/16 time there are groups of overlapping notes with separate beams on a shared staff. Can this be done with Musescore and if so how? Also the there's what I think is a G and G# being hit simultaneously.
Can anyone help me with this or is Musescore just not going to be the tool I need to key in Janáček's score?

Yes, it can be done easily. This section of the handbook should tell you what you need to know:

Note that the Voices feature is required in the 3/8 measure as well as those in 6/16.

Thank you very much. I'll review it now.
If you mean the first beat in the right hand of the first 6/16 measure, I think those are both G-sharps. If there were a G-natural there you'd expect to see a natural sign somewhere.
I wonder about the top voice in that measure. It has two eighths and a dotted eighth, which don't add up to 6/16. Are the first two notes actually a duplet?

I noticed that myself when I tried to input it. For my purposes I just ignored the discrepancy. It's not the first time that I've run into music where the timing didn't add up.

I think the problem is that there's a misprint in the score. Compare that measure to the 2 6/16 measures that precede the first measure in your posted example: they're note-for-note identical except that the E/G# dyad is a sixteenth-note rather than an eighth.
