I need to move those B and G notes to the end of the first bar with the "rests" (three beats and a half) in the beginning. How do I move those two notes to the final of that first bar? Thanks..

That was a mistake...I wanted to enter a pick measure in the first bar with just two sixteenth notes but I still don't know how to get rid of that default rest in the first bar and still don't know how to enter a pick measure too. PS: For someone starting with MuseScore today I ain't that bad...rsrsrsrsrsrs... got to salute you guys for the patience. Blesses.

As I said above, right click the first measure in your attached score, select measure properties and change the actual duration to 1/8 for 2 sixteenth notes. I may not have said it exactly like that above, but I meant to. And yes, you are not doing bad for using it the first day.

Two different things are going on here:
1. Pickup measure
2. How to enter 2 sixteenth notes at the end of the first bar.
If you do #1 you really don't need #2; but it's good to know how anyway.

So.....
1. Concerning the pickup, you wrote:

also::
...and still don't know how to enter a pick measure too.

For a pickup measure you adjust the time of a single measure (regardless of the time signature indicated in the score).
See:

    and follow the instructions one at a time.

There's even the possibility to enter a 'double dotted two time rest ' at the very end, if you understand what's going on. ;-)
