I tried the script.
I like the new way. Choosing the value automatically is much better than the
previous, manual version.
This is typical example where a script that works like "get values in the
moment where the object is used/played/printed" is better than "create static
values when creating the denemo-object".
This way the anacrusis script would be right all the time, even if you delete
or add notes in the anacrusis measure.
