I don't know all the musical terms unfortunately but if you want to have a bar (say in 4/4 time) with a whole (4 beat) note and some quavers playing later in the bar, how can you do it? In written music there's a rest above the four note but whenever I try it in Noteworthy it insists on putting it after the note.

You can "chord" the whole note with the rest. Here's a step-by-step description:
1: Set stem direction up (the button with the stem pointing up, or Shift-cursor up.)
2: Set duration = 1/4 (the button with the 1/4 note or "3" on the keyboard.)
3: Press Space bar. This enters the rest.
4: Set stem direction up.
5: Set duration = whole. ("1" on the keyboard)
6: With the cursor (insertion point) just after the rest, move it to where you want the note to be, then press CNTL-Enter. This chords the note to the rest.
Note that the actual time value of this "chord" will always be taken as the lowest member in the chord - 1/4 in this case - so you can enter the other 1/4 notes to fill out the bar.

I suppose you meant:
4: Set stem direction down.

Yes, thanks Olivier. Or "down" in step 1, depending on whether you want the rest to appear above or below the note.
