Notate silent keys before time signature in Dorico

Hi, everyone. Is there any way to notate silent keys or other staff before time signature?

Furthermore, how can I align pedal changes with the corresponding notes?

Hi,

It is possible at least by hiding the real time signature, and then making a fake one in Playing Techniques.

Here I use real notes for the cluster (with squared noteheads and a line in between), so it is possible to align the ped. sign with them.

But there are probably better solutions!

Or just create a 1/4 bar with a hidden time signature before the first 4/4 bar.

Thank you @charles_piano and @benwiggy, for the solution! Even better than the picture!
