Adding an ANACRUSIS in a score
The piece of music I am writing has a 5 bar entry and then the 5th bar is an anacrusis. The tempo is split common. The version 3 manual on this point is almost a foreign language. I am reading the "how to" in "Measure Operations... all 4 pages. Adding a bar is simple as is deleting a bar. To date I have spent several hours and got nowhere. I can add the anacrusis at the beginning of a score but even that goes wrong occasionally... What have I got to do in simple terms to add an anacrusis to a score?
