All we need are those wavy lines between the notes. Easy, right? :)

Another idea on pickup notes: beats in increments of 1/2.

Is there a way to use invisible bar lines as a workaround? I don't think so, because the issue is that there is a short bar at the beginning, yet the time signature that comes right after the (key signature and before the pickup notes) should reflect the next measure's time signature, not the pick up notes' "measure".

joeberkovitz: Did the number change? But I'm really writing to say, Think about it: maybe you'd have more users if you had folders. Plus, I figure there's a long tail in that distribution caused by people who just try it out and then move on to something else. It's a great product!

Wow, thanks rhall! That worked.
And then if you want to still have chord symbols, after those three steps you mentioned, you just do the K shortcut key again.
It's interesting that when the chord symbol is selected (orange), you can move it up or down with arrows, but you can also drag it with the mouse---both up or down, and right or left.

The help information didn't help me: 1. and 2. don't seem to do anything, nor do the double curly braces.
