Placing rests at the beginning of a measure

I cannot seem to be able to place a quarter note at the beginning of a 4/4 measure. The "Note Entry" information in the manual is not helpful.

Did you try pressing Space as described in the handbook? If you are still having trouble, please explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened.

I am having trouble placing a quarter note at the beginning of a 4/4 measure. The "Note Entry" information in the manual is not helpful. I find it confusing. I've tried a few different ways:

(a) I select "Note Entry," then the voice. The cursor is at the beginning of the measure. I press Space (as you suggested). The cursor jumps to the next measure.

(b) I select "Note Entry," then the voice. The cursor is at the beginning of the measure. I select the quarter-rest. Can't do it that way.

I too am trying to add a second voice to a measure that begins with a rest. The only way I can get the second voice green bar to appear is in the Note entry mode. When I switch to the Rest entry mode the green bar goes away and switches to the first voice. How do I add a second voice rest at the beginning of a measure?
