how to get 4 metronome counts before the piece begins playing

• Feb 15, 2014 - 15:48

For rehearsal with a piece, i'd like to get some "conductor" beats before the musescore starts playing the piece. It would be great if this were in the form of several clicks of the metronome before the first note is played. I need this time to press play on the computer keyboard and then grab my oboe to get ready to play when the music starts.

What is this called? Probably if I knew what it was called I could search it myself in the documentation.

And how can I do it?

Thanks
Jim

There's currently no way to do this other than by placing an empty bar at the beginning of your piece and then assign a percussion instrument to play 4 crotchets in it.
