Set the duration in the Durations palette to the smallest one you will be
using in the passage.

Enter the notes. Using the pencil tool, position the mouse where you want 
each note to go and then enter the note by clicking the left mouse button. 
If you have a MIDI keyboard you can use step entry to enter the notes. 
Make sure the notes go in the desired places (the start times of the notes 
are where you want them to be).

If you put a note in the wrong place, you can erase it by selecting the 
Eraser tool and then clicking on the note, or you can move it to the correct
place using the NS, EW or the NSEW tool.

Now you should have all the notes in their proper places and the durations 
of the notes should all be equal. If not, to change the duration of a note 
that is too short, double-click on the note, choose Duration from the Edit 
menu and change it.
 
A faster and easier way to do this is to select all the notes in the passage 
and choose 'Make Legato' from the Edit menu. This will join up all the notes, 
so that each note ends at the start of the next note.
