Hi, In my experience, if you start just a little too early, the note will be recorded on the very beginning of the first beet of the file. So it still gets it. I think that any note played on the last beat of the count-in will be recorded. Just remember that those notes you play during the count-in will be pushed forward. So if you want to have a pickup to the first measure, you'd be better off waiting til a measure after the count-in before you start so that the pickup is recorded properly.
