Count in bar without measure

Hello folks, Is there any way to have a one bar count in on a piece without it being counted as a measure? ie: the 4 beat count in happens but the bar at the top doesn't count it as a measure, kinda like having it as "bar number zero"? Don't ask, I have my reasons lol Cheers Phil

sure just leave your ruler alone and set it up in the metronome

Ahhh, so can you set the metronome to play for just one bar? How? Thank you

Set count in

Thanks. This is showing more possibilities now I'm getting some answers to the original. I'm thinking I could use a count in on each bar before a chord change to help me out when I'm getting lost. Cheers

I'd like to render my track with the metronome count in, I think it might be possible if I can add the -1 measure like Hopi said but I can't see how to do that. For now, after recording, I'm dragging my tracks along a measure and inserting click source for one measure. Thanks

That worked, thank you for your help hopi.
