Dear HF, here is a message that someone posted a little while ago on writing different note durations to be played together. As you may already know, you can have four voices on each staff, so here is what the message said. Hello, it seams, that you want to write a second voice in one bar. If I understood you right, then do the following: 1. write the whole note 2, select it and press alt + 2 (this will move the note to voice too.) 3. After that press alt + shift + up arrow, so that you get back to the first voice 4. Now you can write the shorter notes. Hope this helps.

Conventional ways aren't working. If I wanted to input a piano piece, I'm assuming that staff b is left hand and A is right hand. Not sure that's right but I'll go with that for now since that's not my actual question. How can I have the left hand play different valued notes. Example would be a whole note with four quarter notes together.
