@PokeballPanda Sorry to the delay in responding - I've been away the last few days. I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you trying to enter the notes on one staff? Or is it for a piano part which has treble and bass staves? Or if you're trying to enter a chord (all notes play at the same time) you might like to watch the Chords video (search MuseScore Chords).

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? IM TRYING TO RIGHT IN A SONG BUT THE COMPUTER OR WHATEVER INTELLIGENT ENGINE IN MUSESCORE IS PUTTING 64TH RESTS IN MUSIC WHEN A SIMPLE WHOLE REST COULD DO THE SAME. I TRY TO TAKE OUT THE RESTS BUT THEY WONT MOVE! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER HELPS.

@MyStorm16 You can change the rhythmic value of rests the same way you change the value of notes. Select the first 64th rest and then click on the semibreve button up on the toolbar.

@svenno0007 Not sure what you're describing without seeing your score. You can PM me if you like.

[svenno0007]

for some reason, there is a long pause at the end of each measure WITHOUT the rests...
