Nothing is happening, guys.
MicaMahler, I followed your instructions scrupulously but... nothing happens! ;-S
Frank, unfortunately I have a MacBook Pro, and I don't have the numeric keypad. I tried with the only "/" I have anyway but
even in this case... nothing happens! ;-S
I'm just saying, maybe it could be another useful element: the time signature of that measure (see photo) is 3/4
I will keep tinkering. Sooner or later...
Thanks anyway, everyone.
good evening

Email me the final bars you need and I'll fix them for you; I don't know what the alternative to the "/" is on Mac (maybe it's exactly MicaMahler's "-"), but in 3/4, the eighth notes should actually be joined by default

So: select a note and double-click it, so that its color changes and you can, for example, modify its pitch. Once the note has been modified this way (i.e., its color has simply changed), press the - key and it will join/separate from the note you want to join/detach it to. I also have a Mac and it has always worked!

Ok, I did it! Thanks Frank and especially thanks to MicaMahler.
Anyway, I'm reporting it just to have it as a pro-memoria for future and probable "moments of need":
the color I selected is not the first but the SECOND. While the fact about double-clicking to select a note completely escaped me. Thanks again truly to everyone, guys! ;-D

I see this discussion today; if it should still be useful, those who have a Mac and do not have a separate numeric keypad can use the letter "b" on the normal keyboard, naturally after first selecting the note with the Speedy Entry tool. The modification occurs between the selected note and the previous one; using the same key, they are attached and detached. (I am borrowing this suggestion from Trade 1, who gave it to me in one of my posts where I was asking the same thing, having not seen that this previous discussion on the subject already existed)

Hi, if it's just a few sixteenth notes, there is no point in indicating an ad hoc tempo; it is much faster to use "/" between one sixteenth note and the next.
