Uncommon Upbeat

Hi all!
I want an Upbeat in 3/4 that is uncommon (3 8th notes) – see Photo:

I did it using a 6/8 measure, but I actually want it to be all in 3/4. Can I do uncommon upbeats?

Thanks in advance!

Certainly. Select the first note or move the caret to the start, then in the Shift-M popover, type 3/4,1.5 Enter. You can then delete the redundant 3/4 on the next barline. In general, the length of the upbeat is defined in terms of the denominator of the time signature. In this case, 1.5 quarter-notes.
