Formatting the final bar when the flow begins with a pick-up

Hallo,

ich beginne die Phrase 2/2 Takt mit einem Auftakt (2/2,2). Das Ende der Phrase endet natürlich mit einer halben Note. Wie macht man das, wenn man nicht noch eine halbe Pause schreiben will?

Translation:
I start the phrase 2/2 bar with a prelude (2/2,2). The end of the phrase ends with half a note, of course. How do you do that if you don’t want to write another half break?

In this case, he means a pick up bar… :wink: :+1:
I’d put the caret into the final bar on beat 3 and type Shift-B -2q, which will delete 2 quarter notes from the last bar.

Cheers,
Benji
