To Write Incipit:

Using speedy entry in speedy dropdown list uncheck "jump to next measure"
and "check for extra notes".

Enter your incipit.

Select the bar.

Either use JWTimesignature plugin or count up the number of beats in the bar
and set the time signature accordingly for that one bar.

Double click the bar with measure tool and in the dialogue box under "time
signature" click "always hide"

For bar numbering:

using measure tool, under drop-down menu select "measure numbers" - "edit
regions".

set region 1 to include measure 1 to  measure 1

Add new region.  Set region 2 to include measures 2 to 999 (or whatever)

I'm not sure if all this qualifies as "easy" but it works.

Cheers,

Lawrence
