Pickup Measure

How to get there

From the Document menu, choose Pickup Measure.

What it does

The Pickup Measure dialog box allows you to designate the first measure of your piece as a pickup measure. PrintMusic will automatically add blank "count-off" beats before the pickup itself and adjust the measure numbers. When you add notes to the pickup measure, PrintMusic will space the measure with the specified duration.

• [Duration icons]. Click the icon representing the rhythmic value you want to select. You can only select one note icon at a time.
• Clear Pickup. Click this button to clear the pickup and change the measure back to a normal measure.
• OK · Cancel. Click OK (or press return) to confirm, or Cancel to discard, your pickup duration selection.
