I've been given the task to edit some songs which were transcribed with a number of mistakes. Some songs which should have been notated with a 2 quarter note pickup (in 4/4 time) were instead notated starting on count 1. Is there anyway to shift notes over 2 counts?

Insert a measure before the first one. Then, in the Selection tool, select and drag the music to the left.
