That's true, but in the book I've been working on, I adjusted the placement
of the pick-up notes so that my bars DO line up exactly. It's a book for
beginning players, and I wanted to make clear the repeated patterns in some
of the pieces I chose. If the first stave has a pick-up, and the second stave
does NOT, I would leave the first half-inch or so of the second stave blank,
so that the first full bar of the second stave lines up with the first full
bar of the first stave.
(This would be SO MUCH easier to just show you.)
My point is, well, yes, the pick up notes make it a little more challenging,
but it's easily gotten around. And I think it's worth the extra effort if it
makes the music clearer.
