@naomi.barker I may have a crazy hack for this.
-
For your incipit, create two bars. The first has cut C (and could be a pickup bar of only 1 crotchet). The second is 3/2. (I’ve used a pickup bar of 1 semibreve, just to show the note.)
-
Use dashed barlines, with a dash length (in Engraving Options) of 0, to create an invisible barline.
-
You’ll need to hide the rest in the first bar, which you can only do once there are some notes somewhere on that staff.
