I’m trying to get this to work like this picture. I would just like to notate pushes into the next bar. Thanks In advance
I would just be entering the rhythm of all the slashes e.g. 3 crotchets and two quavers, and then change the noteheads to slashes without stems, with the final quavers to slashes with stems.
Select the notes and:
Edit > Notations > Notehead > [Notehead type]
(or you can right-click and go to same menu)
I think you’ll need to separate the beam that joins the quavers.
You could even do the same but just for the quavers, leaving the Slash Region up to beat 3 of the bar.
Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think you can actually specify the “without stems” or “with stems” as notehead types - I think you have to actually create a slash voice with stems and another slash voice without stems to take care of the last two eighth notes in the first bar and then remove rests to get rid of the two rests that appear there.
I’m not at a computer yet, but I think you might be able to pull the slash region back one eighth note and enter the anticipation (?) as a slash voice.
Or you could use a rhythmic cue above the staff for that.
Good morning everybody,

It doesn’t seem to work to pull the slash region back one eighth note - I mean, you can, but anything less than full bar length for the slash region only gives you three slashes anyway it seems like, with a quarter rest at the end.
If there’s no notehead for stemless slashes then you can always hide them in Rngrave mode.
You can, but then you have to break the beam too because it will beam to the following stemmed slash anticipation, and hiding the stem doesn’t remove the beam so then you have a beam there to a non-existent stem. So it seems like it isn’t actually any easier than making two slash voices, one without stems and one with, and putting one note in each and removing the rests.
Yes, that’s correct.
You are, of course, utterly and completely correct… 
Maybe off topic, I wonder if this notation is correct. To me the last stemless slash (the 4 beat) should be connected with stem and beam to the anticipated downbeat. It also easy to accomplish then. I see this notation sometimes but I find it always confusing.
In a way, yes. On the other hand, stemless slashes I take to mean “play whatever rhythm you deem appropriate”, whereas stemmed slashes to me indicate to play the rhythm exactly as notated, but interpreting the chord symbol as you see fit.
So, the OP’s example would be to play any rhythm up to and including the 4 and then hit the C7 chord on the 4+ and let it ring out for the remainder of the next bar.

Thanks @YourMusic.Pro I understand the difference now better. Maybe it is because I’m a drummer and when I read something like that I will anyhow also play the fourbeat and give an push on the four-and.
Thanks guys for your response. I’m going to try your suggestions out asap

Was Able To Get This To Work. Thank You! It’s not a pretty process but with the help of scripting and key commands, it should be fine.
Now I Need to solve this problem?
Basically it’s the same thing. Except it’s a 1/16th note push. Is there any way to get rid of the dot on the dotted 1/8th note? See picture. I just need it to look like the first picture except with a 1/16th note push instead of an 1/8th. Thank You for all the help!
Nope! Then it wouldn’t be a dotted 8th.
Your best bet would probably be to make it an 8th note and then hide the 16th rest that will be left over.

Got it to work! just got rid of the 1/16th rest by going to edit-remove rest. Thanks!
