I am trying to write a piano left-hand part which has a "lower" part in crotchets/quavers and an "upper" part in demi-semi-quavers. I want to insert a quaver rest in the "lower" part directly below a note in the "upper" part.
I can insert a quaver note, ie make a chord, but I can't figure out how to add in the rest.
Any suggestions?

The only way to combine notes and rests is to enter the rest first and then combine the note using the control-enter combination. Note also that whilst rests don't show whether they are stem up or stem down, NWC still interprets them with that quality. SO if you have trouble combining a note with a rest, it may be that you need to "flip" your rest. If I want a note to be above the rest, but still fairly low in a stave, I've found that sometimes it helps to enter the note way above, and then transpose that note down using Ctrl-Shift-Down.
Hope this helps.

What I want to do is not currently supported (ie, combining a rest with a note of shorter duration)
I have submitted a request to the wish list.
