How to insert Pickup Measure with Fractional Beat Length?
I am trying to insert a pickup measure to the start of my score with a duration of one sixteenth. However, the Measure Properties window only allows me to input whole values for the measure duration, such as 1. Is there a way to make the pickup measure one sixteenth of a beat in duration, or do I have to just put it as 1 beat?
For reference, the measure I am trying to arrange:

Lool again at the measure properties. There are two boxes for Actual duration. The left hand one is a spin box to give any integer number of beats; you need to select 1 in that spin box. The right hand box is a drop down that allows you to select a power of 2 (unless you are rather avant garde the denominator of time signatures are always powers of 2). You need to select 16 in that drop down.

Thanks, that worked!
