Not sure if this video I made will help but I created PLE commands to only show tracks with bata from bar 3. So I can have midi data at bar 1 (for template balancing) and I usually start at bar 5. The reason I use bar 3 is because I can hit record from bar 3, have a 4 beat (or whatever the time sig is) count in and then play. Then data before bar 5 (which there will be) will be detected. 2 bars before the bar you want to record at seemed to work best for me. Sorry I’m drunk and I’m no pro video maker…
