Femata

My understanding is that a femata is assigned to a note, Am I right in thinking that noteworthy assigns a femata to the space where it is inserted into the music?

The positioning will depend on how you have inserted the fermata.

The fermata will relate to the following note or rest.

To centre the fermata over the note, then you need to position it with Center justification and with Placement at the next note/bar.

If you can't see the placement and visibility tabs when you go to insert the fermata, it will be because you have smart properties insert checked in "Tools / Options / Editor"

You can either uncheck this so that you see all tabs as you enter an item, or you can edit an item after you have entered it and you will have access to the tabs that are initially hidden.
