Hi Bill,

That 5th beat sounds like it might be a pick-up note and not really a 5th beat. It's also possible that it could be a pause (also called a fermata) where one holds the note longer than written.

Can you give me the name of the song you mean and I'll have a listen on Youtube to see if I can isolate the issue.

Regards,
Noel
