how to put a downward arrow ABOVE an accent?
just updated to the newest version of musescore, but now I can't have my downward arrow to be ABOVE an accent, which is annoying. How do I do this?
Also, I'm notating for drumset and for my second voice (which is designated for hi hat foot and bass drum) I need to put a whole rest at times but I can't move it to the center of the measure for voice #2. How do I do this?

I don't get your 1st question, can you attach a sample score?
For your 2nd question see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-rests#measure-rest-other-vo…
Downard arrow above an accent .......?????
Like others I'm not sure what you mean about a downward arrow - do you mean a staff text you have created that includes such a symbol? Or maybe something you've added from the "Symbols" palette? I guess the MDL extension provides such a symbol on one of its palette?
Anyhow, the default positioning rules place symbols closer to the notes than articulations. If you'd like to change this, press "=" to disable automatic placement for the arrow, or use Alt+drag when moving it which does the same.
Nevermind about the downward arrow thing, I decided to just find a different way to do what I needed to do.
I have this situation (view attached picture) where the half rest is not centred between beat 1 and 2. How do I make it centred between those beats?

Use staff text and the F2 palette

I don't know how to go about doing that. Please explain to me. Thank you

The rest is where musescore always puts note or rest, where the item starts in time. If you want to move it, select it and change the x offset in the inspector (F8)

I was taking about the down arrow
That rest is a half rest, not a full rest and as such can't get turned into a full measure rest

It's not supposed to be. Only full measure rests should ever be centered. A half rest - or any other rest other than a full measure rest - should always be aligned directly with other notes or rests that start on the same beat.

Note the correct spacing of rests in this image:

To create a full measure rest in a particular voice, see (Jojo's link) here:
