Recording before bar 1

Cubase
1

How do I go about recording before bar 1? For example: to Have a 2 beat drum fill into a song.
I know that I could just move the whole project along a bar or so, but I think that would lead to confusion later on.

Thanks

Set up the project with a bar offset

Thanks thinkingcap,
you know, I actually looked in project setup… obviously didn’t see it for looking :unamused:

Cheers.
