Placing a repeat bar within a bar as in hymns
Any bright ideas? This hymn I am typesetting (God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen) has an anacrusis/pick-up bar, and so the repeat goes back after the third beat.
This is for a classroom exercise, showing four part harmony in short score.
Many thanks for your help in advance!

Split the measure between 3rd and 4th beat
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/pickup-and-non-metered-measures which deals with exactly this situation.
Maybe this here helps ;-)
And split the title between the fourth and fifth words. The title ("God Rest ye Merry, Gentlemen") means something like "May God keep you contented, gentlemen". It is not an exhortation to the merry/drunk men to have a little rest.
