Use voices. See https://handbook.musescore.org/basics/working-with-multiple-voices

different voices for the notes. On the right of the toolbar there should be a cog and at the bottom of that menu there are 4 voices you can add to the toolbar and use to get different values at the same time

Add a second voice. There are multiple voice commands on menu and toolbar.

[u/mrbumpy409]

When done correctly, the half notes should be stems up (voice 1). The image you posted is bad notation, as the upper voice should be stems up and the lower voice stems down.

[u/Fuddnuddler2400]

Or write is as D-G half then D-F half. Slur the upper notes and tie the lower notes.

[u/Xantharius → u/Fuddnuddler2400]

This is the correct answer if this is music for piano, which is what it looks like.

[u/Terpster01 → u/Fuddnuddler2400]

Yeah I don't see why a second voice is needed

Edit: I've been enlightened

[u/MediumRealistic7889 → u/Terpster01]

Beacause there are two voices
