GINGER20

In 3/4 time, in the treble clef, I am trying to write a dotted half note for my thumb and holding it while playing two dotted quarter notes with other fingers of the same hand. The dotted half note and the first dotted quarter note is played at the same time. I am unable to put these two notes in the same position on the staff. The program will not allow the dotted quarter note to overlap the space required by the dotted half note. These are not notes making up a cord, but notes of different duration started on the same beat of the measure.
