did you mean what you have will not typeset (i.e. you get an error in
the Print View) or did you mean that you get Denemo marking the bar as
having an incorrect duration?

if it is the second of these, you can just leave the bar in the Display
incomplete, or mark it as incomplete so that Denemo displays it nicely.
There is an example in the first movement of this score:

http://www.denemo.org/~rshann/DenemoScores/Sammartini%20Giuseppe/Sonata2.denemo.gz

which you can follow. The general point is that the "bars" in the
Denemo Display do not have to match the typeset music, they are just
there to help Denemo do its very crude typesetting.
If your problem is that the Print View is in error then you may need to
post a (perhaps simplified) example to know what you may have done.
