Add Offset Bars

Hi,
Is it possible to add extra bars before Bar 1 as a count in for record or playback.
Something like this on the cursor timeline   Bar  -1, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3 etc..
 
Regards
Brian

    Negative measures have been requested by many here for years, but no, you can't do that with CbB.
    You could begin your recording on measure 2 or 3 instead, though.
    Or use the built-in count-in in the metronome for as many beats as you want.

    Negative silent music is apparently also difficult to capture in some of the notation programs. I think Bach may also have had this problem. Maybe we should just give it a rest.

    Well, it is possible to insert empty measures at the beginning of a project, they just ain't gonna have the negative numbering.
     
    I can understand why this feature might not get addressed so quickly. Negative numbers can really mess with code.

    I would have thought that being able to slide the Timeline ruler along so to create an extra ie 2 bars at the beginning would be not that hard, although I'm not a coder :0
