How do I create a cut-time signature with a pickup bar?

I can’t figure out how to create a cut-time (C with line through it) meter with a pickup bar. Using the popup I can only input 2/2, 1 and I get the 2/2 time signature and the pickup bar. I can do the same thing with the time signature tool at the left of the main Write mode screen.
But my client wants the C-with-line-through-it meter AND a pickup bar.
I’ve looked everyplace I can think of and can’t figure out how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Entering “cutc,1” into the time signatures popover (Shift-M) should work? Presuming you want two crotchets/quarter notes in your pick-up bar?

Inputting 2/2,1 and then deactivating the “Common/Cut common” property in the lower zone should get you the right result, as well.

Thank you – I had forgotten about using cutc in place of 2/2. Problem solved!
