When I export audio, I want don’t want the audio to start exactly on the first beat of the first bar, I want a “pre-roll” of a bar or two of silence.
Trouble is, if I just add two bars to the beginning of the piece, the measure numbers will be out of sync now (the first measure will be labeled “2” etc.).
How can I add the silent measure/s without fouling the measure count?
You can also choose the pre-roll measures and use the Change Bar Number option not to include them in the count.
I just discovered that this past week.
You can change the pre-roll duration on the Timing page in Play>Playback Options, albeit in units of seconds not bars. Would that still be of use, if you want extra silence rather than e.g. a click into the start of your piece?
