Formatting

Please look at the attached file. I'm trying to rewrite a score, but it is not coming out correctly.

1. In the "pick-up" measure there should be no rest. Even if I make it invisible, while playing it observes that rest. I need only a quaver as the pick-up note. The same applies to bar #5, 9 and 13.

2.Similarly in bar #4, 8, 12 and 16, it is an irregular measure with only three-and-a-half beats. The other half is carried on to the next bar.

On the whole I should get only 4 systems. One system for each line of the verse:

The waves are tossing, billows roll, And storm clouds screen the sunny sky;
I'll trust the Lover of my soul, For I am safe when He is nigh.
He'll carry me up, up, away __ Above the clouds the sun doth shine;
In His dear arms of love I'll lay, For I am His and He is mine.

Kindly advise how I can achieve this.

Thanks
