Pickup Bar Question

I’m trying to create a pickup bar in cut time.
I need a pickup of a 16th + a quarter. I am entering cutc,0.75, which gives me an eighth plus a quarter.
Is there another way to do this?

Thank you.

You could do that, then Shift-B,-1x to remove one of the 16ths. I think.

Entering cutc,0.625 also works, for those who remember all that stuff at school about decimals and fractions :wink:

You beat me to it, Rob. A sixteenth note is 1/8 of a half-note beat, so quarter plus sixteenth is 5/8 of a beat, which (as 1/8 = .125) is 0.625 . (I’m old enough that we had to drill this sort of stuff.)

Thank you all for your help!
