I don't understand how to use the unpitched percussion in my song

Do you mean the note entry of a standard drum set?

Yes, this is not easy to understand at first.
What you need to know: the drum set normally uses two voices, snare, hi-hat, toms and more are written in voice 1 by default and base and pedal hi-hat (examples) are written in voice 2. You can see which part is in voice 1 or 2 by clicking on the drum input palette icon.
So separate your input: first enter the voice 1 instruments and in a second step enter the voice 2 instruments.
In note input mode, you can double-click on a note icon in the drum input palette or use the letter, e.g. A for snare and B for base.
For example, if you need snare and hi-hat on the same beat, double-click the snare note icon, press Shift, and double-click the hi-hat icon or use the letters (also with Shift for the same beat) if they are offered.
