Do you mean an anacrusis or upbeat? 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/music-glossary/anacrusis>
This is represented in LilyPond through the partial command explained in 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#upbeats>. 
And, if you permit the remark, what a pity if Musescore doesn’t provide 
a proper notation for that. Or does it?
