MuseScore -- Index -- Voices
Note:
The MuseScore implementation of voices is not yet complete and subject to change.
Enter multiple voices per staff:

First start by entering the top voice (all the up-stem notes).
-
When you enter the notes some may have down-stems. You can flip the stem direction by clicking the "Flip direction" button
on the toolbar or pressing
X
on the keyboard.
-
Now select the first note to move your cursor back to the begining of the line.
-
Click on "Voice 2" button
and start entering the bottom voice (all the down-stem notes).
-
Remember to flip the stems as to go along using
X
on the keyboard or the flip direction button
-
When you are done it should look like this:
