[Perform-Talk] Any Musescore Experts

[Elizabeth Sprecher]

Hi,
Any composers out there experts with Musescore?
I'm trying to write a piece, but I don't know why Musescore wants to add
extra beats and extend my note values by adding rests and ties. I tried
using the ctrl delete option, and rewriting it, using the Braille Mode, but
that does not help. I've also selected my time signature, but that didn't
seem to change anything. I have also tried to input the notation I want by
selecting numbers for the note values.
Is there a way to turn off a setting, so that I can write whatever note
values I want?

Thank You

Elizabeth
