Last measure minus anacrusis

• Jul 16, 2010 - 15:45

Is there any way to implement the convention that the number of beats or fractions of a beat used in the anacrusis are subtracted from the last measure of the work (or repeated passage)? So if I start a piece in, say, 4/4 time with a quarter note anacrusis is there any way to end the piece with a measure containing only 3 beats?

I think this problem has already be raised. For what it worth, I'm not in favor of automating this. There are plenty of cases where it's not needed to end in 3/4 if the first measure in 1/4. Users can already change the last measure to 3/4 manually with right click on the measure -> Measure properties -> Actual duration
