When adding system breaks every 4 measures in the add/remove system breaks tool in the format menu, the pickup measure is counted as the first measure


Comments

Set the first 5 bars on the top line.
Then select the rest of the piece and set them to 4.

As those of us who have been here a longish time know, this has, and probably will continue come up often.

I suggest adding a checkbox where one could set ""x" # of bars in the first system".

Or, just select everything from the first full measure to end of score (click first full measure, press Ctrl+Shift+End) when running the command.
