Wecome to the forum.

Might you be viewing in concert pitch? Tuba is a transposing instrument.

Can you give us more details about the Simple Entry problem?

Whenever I use the maestro set , it won't work with the corresponding keystroke, say for instance : press shift + X for the 16th note....it does nothing. Concert pitch has nothing to do with it, it should still play the correct note. The Tuba is already set on the concert pitch.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. "press shift + X for the 16th note"? Where did you find this instruction? I've never seen this. To activate a sixteenth note in Simple, press 3 on your numberpad. (Or, if you are on a laptop without a numberpad, you would select the Laptop Shortcut set, and enter OPT + 3 (ALT + 3 on Windows, I think.)

Please give us some more info. Are you using a laptop? Are you using a US or foreign keyboard? Are you entering notes from a MIDI keyboard, from the computer keyboard, with the mouse, or with the arrow keys?

Those instructions are in finale 2014 in the maestro configuration and Im typing this on the laptop using simple entry and this software is playing back extra notes I didn't write in the rhtythm.

Maestro configuration? Does this mean you are starting with the Maestro default document? And I still have no idea where you got those instructions. Can you tell us, specifically?

Can you post a file where extra notes are appearing?
