I would really like to put this fermata on the top of this chord and, while this is probably simple, I cannot sit out a way to do it. Engrave mode moves ALL the fermatas.
If you want only the one fermata, do the following:
In Engrave mode, select one fermata.
Open Properties.
In Holds and Pauses, click on Max. fermatas per staff and choose One per staff in the drop-down list.
The one fermata still being displayed will (probably) be the one above the rest.
Select the fermata and either drag it with the mouse, nudge it left with opt/alt+left arrow, or click on Start offset and set a value there.
Just remove the rest for the upper voice. (select it and edit>remove rests)
