Very often, I would like to start my project with measure 0 or -1 in order to have some space before measure 1 to allow audio files pre-roll or put some count-in audio there.
Is there a way to do such a thing?
As I am using music sheets with numbered measures, it’s always a “pita” if sheet measure numbers do not match Ardour project measure numbers.

Does someone know, whether there will be something like that in Ardour 6?
You may want to read my posting more attentively. I am not asking for a pre-roll with click, I am asking for space at the beginning of the song without screwing up my measure-sequence-numbers.
I do know, that I can have a count-in click.
If you simply want “space” that isn’t counting off bars and beats, you can literally grab the meter on the timeline and drag it over. Just left click on “4/4” or whatever the time signature is near the top of the editor and drag it over however much you want so that the 1 of the first bar is wherever you deem appropriate for your project.

This is technically Mixbus but its exactly the same in Ardour. You can skip to 1:40 for what I am talking about:
Cool, I didn’t know that. Thanks!
