This gets into an area where Composer opts for the "safe" road. Rather than having the rest of your notation move around every time you delete or shorten a note, Composer inserts (or replaces) such deleted or shortened notes with a rest.
To remove a segment or region of a score, you'll need to use the Measure -> Remove measures command. If you don't want to remove all of an existing measure, but say only the first two beats, then you'll need to "mark it off" by inserting a barline (Staff Symbols -> Barlines -> click in the score where you want a barline) before using the command.
You can watch this "rough and ready" video to
see the steps to do the "delete and shift" that you want to do.
ttfn,
Sherry
