Only half of the notes in the first bar. What is going on? How to recreate in Musescore?
Hello,
In this music score the first bar seem to contain only half of the notes of a full bar.
When trying to recreate it it will start with pause only.
How do I recreate this first bar in Musescore? (it does not seem to count towards the bar count either. Maybe it is not a bar at all?)

That is a "pick up measure" otherwise called an anacrusis.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/pickup-and-non-metered-measures for how to deal with that
