Hi
Particularly when Step -Entering notes in the Score, you need to pay attention to 2 separate parameters:
A) Interpretation.
This attempts to tidy up the look of the notation by removing unlikely rests, and tweaking the display of the note length to something simple where possible. If you are step-entering the notes, the lengths will be exactly correct, so generally you should turn Interpretation OFF
Interpretation OFF with correct note lengths

Interpret OFF short notes

Interpret ON with short notes

B) The Score Quantisation parameter only affects the notation display, and sets the smallest note or rest that will be displayed. To correctly display 32 notes, you need to set the score Q to 32
