My notehead is not changing?
So for backsticking (writing for drumline) I want to notate it with a half note head, but it will not let me change it to anything. I continuously try to drag the notehead onto the note, but it doesn't work.

Instead of dragging from a palette, change the Properties of the note.
Click the note to select. (You can multi-select at this point to make the same change to multiple notes.) Then go to the Properties panel (upper left; yellow highlight; you can see it in your screenshot too). Under Note (green highlight), click on Head (blue highlight) and make your selection from the list of Notehead types (orange highlight).
For percussion, instead of customizing each notehead individually, you do it globally for all notes of that type through the staff via the customize button on the percussion panel. See the percussion chapter of the Handbook for more information.

Oh, sorry, my apologies! Didn't know that percussion worked differently for that.
