editing
I tried to change a half note to a quarter note. When I did Musescore inserted a quarter rest to balance the beat count. Now I can't replace the rest with another note. How do I edit within a bar? Remember, I am a novice at musescore and music in eneral.

You can certainly replace the rest with another note. Just type or click another in, same as always. Or cut/paste notes from somewhere else - like maybe notes that you originally entered starting on beat three and you are now changing you mind and deciding you'd rather have start on beat two. Cut and paste lets you move one note or a thousand.
Be sure to read the handbook to learn more about note input and editing works in MuseScore. Also you might find this tutorial useful:
