Bar Lines

• Aug 24, 2024 - 17:36

I am arranging a music score which requires a 3/4 time signature. The first bar starts on the 3rd measure followed by a bar line, but the second bar will only accept 2 measures where there should be 3. How do I h=get around this?

The words "bar" and "measure" are exact synonyms. I think you mean that ...

The first bar starts on the 3rd beat followed by a bar line, but the second bar will only accept 2 beats where there should be 3.

If that is what you mean, then SteveBlower's link to Pickup and non-metered measures is exactly what you need. If that isn't want you mean, then we'll need a better description, and perhaps include the score file (.MSCZ)
