Hey hey. Just a QOL suggestion, but can we get anacrusis support?
This would assist greatly with not just composing in hookpad, but transcribing existing pieces/songs too.
Specific behaviour when a measure is marked as a pickup - like an automatic subtraction of number of beats from the final measure, or a marked section of measures - would be positively awesome.
As well, not marking this initial measure as either having a different time signature or filled up with rests (possibly the most exasperating part of this missing feature) when exported to sheet would be great.
On projects (especially where percussion is used), various methods I’ve tried to handle the anacrusis can play very awkwardly - leaving the time signature as-is presents its own issues, setting the time signature to use 2 beats (the shortest possible) can also sound “wrong”.
Worse, when exported to lead sheet, it looks fairly dreadful/amateurish and is absolutely no fun to sight read - at the moment, if I need to export, I delete the notes and measure settings and then draw them in by hand…
If you’d consider developing this, you’d have my thanks!
