Bars that don't contain full measure of notes
I'm entering music into MuseScore 3 from sheet music. The first bar of this song, and the first bar of the refrain don't have enough notes to fully occupy the spaces in the bar. But putting rests there doesn't work, as it leaves a big pause in the song. Is there a fix?

The first measure (bar in GB) is called a pickup. The first measure of the refrain is the second half of the previous measure that has only a dotted 1/2 note. For the pickup measure or to adjust any existing measure see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#duration and for future scores see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/create-new-score#time-signature-pic…. For splitting a measure see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#split-measure.
