Dotted Quaver rest
Hi, can someone tell me how to change a rest to a dotted quaver rest? when I click on the quaver rest and try to add staccato it doesn't do anything. Please help! It will be appreciated!

clic on the quaver rest and tape 5+point (bottom of numeric keyboard,under the 3.
you also have the symbol point on the work bar tools at the top of MuseScore.
If you use stacato, you get a point under the note for making it shorter

As Raymond implied, the dot on the rest is not a staccato, it's a dot that indicats the rest is 1/2 as long more than the base length, so the rest is now a quaver + a semiquaver (8th + 16th in America). As he indicated, to make any note or rested dotted press the period rather than the staccato shortcut. FYI, the quavers in that measure (bar in GB) are staccato as you have indicated. This is indicated by the location of the dots.

Your picture didn't show what you did wrong as I suspected.
You need to insert a measure before the first measure and make it a pickup (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#duration) You can then put your two 16th notes in the pickup measure where they belong. You can then delete the barline you inserted into measure 1 to make it impossible to put 4 beats in the measure. Rewrite the measure starting with the 8th note and it will permit you to use a dotted 8th rest before the 16th note.
