Partial measures/pickups
Ability to easily create a partial measure and have a complementary incomplete measure at the end. e.g. in 4/4 time a 1 beat pickup at the beginning and the last measure of the piece/section having 3 beats. Currently I am removing rests, but when I play the parts, it pauses for the duration of the "removed rests".

thanks so much. The measure properties works great. I did not find it in the handbook

look again, it is in there:
Duration
The Nominal duration is the time signature that is displayed on the score. You can change the Actual duration of a measure to anything regardless of the time signature displayed on the score. Normally, the nominal and actual duration of a measure is identical. However, a measure (e.g. pickup, anacrusis) can have an actual duration that is shorter.
