That's sort of important information that you omitted.

Or Finale didn't, and musicxml2ly made a mistake.  In which case this
would warrant fixing.  Do you have the MusicXML available?

My bank actually refuses cashing foreign country checks these days, so
I cannot avail myself of this particular offer.  While I like the
prospect of a simple recurring source of income, I think it would be
more desirable in the long run to make sure that pickup measures travel
with some reliability from Finale into LilyPond.

So it would be good to take a look at the involved MusicXML.
