Hmm, I think I'm not quite on top of this topic - what you use is the command
Command: Short Measure Allow too few notes/rests in this measure. LilyPond will engrave this measure (in all staffs) with the short duration given by notes already present when this command was issued. Location: Object Menu ▶ Measures Internal Name: ShortMeasure Which tells the LilyPond typesetter that this is a short, not just the Denemo Display. > There is an example in the first movement of this score: > > > http://www.denemo.org/~rshann/DenemoScores/Sammartini%20Giuseppe/Sonata2.denemo.gz > > which you can follow.
