As a matter of terminology "overlays" is when you have some notes in the
score (usually all on one staff line or space) and you put pitches onto
the notes.

 The "create rhythm" and friends is where you specify a pattern which
will be followed as you enter notes.
It is actually just an extension of the normal way of entering notes in
insert mode. In fact, when you type a note name in insert mode the note
is put in following a rhythmic pattern that just comprises one element,
the prevailing duration. The rhythmic pattern thing is visible when you
have more than one note-length in the rhythmic pattern, as you enter
notes, they are given durations following the pattern.
