on the Help | index menu, probably because of the English terminology.

3 possible ways:

1. Create a first measure that has a 1/4 time signature, but still
displays as 4/4 (Use Different Time Signature for Display in the Time
Signature dialog box). This can make it difficult to number the
measures later, as the pickup is counted as the first measure.
2. Options | Pickup Measure... menu. This way is good because it
defines the measure after the pickup as the first measure (The pickup
is measure "#1," while the first measure is "1").
3. Create a new document with the Setup Wizard, and define the pickup
measure in the appropriate dialog box along the way.

#3 is probably the easiest if you haven't yet started entering notes,
but it basically does the same thing as #2.
