Early music incipits

@naomi.barker I may have a crazy hack for this.

  1. 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.)

  2. Use dashed barlines, with a dash length (in Engraving Options) of 0, to create an invisible barline.

  3. 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.

  1. “Some Spacing adjustment will be needed to tidy things up.”
