When you change the first note of the second triplet to be the quarter note, you don't delete it, you simply put the cursor on the 8th note you entered to define the triplet and hit the 5 key to change it to a quarter note. Keystrokes should be: ctrl-3, 4, 4, cursor left 2 times so it is on

Move the notes from the layers other than 1 to new staves by creating the staves, choosing SHOW ACTIVE LAYER ONLY, switching to layer 2, 3, or 4 and then highlighting and dragging that music to one of the new staves and erasing it from it's original staff. Repeat it for all the music you want

Sometimes I don't pay attention to the actual numbers of the F keys, and assign them in groups. They are grouped in fours on most keyboards, so any group of 4 can be the four layers. Are you giving up the ability to use the F keys for tool selection? I find that built-in mapping on WinFin
