4 bar intro

[tracy]

How do you put a 4 bar intro at the beginning of a song? I don't want to use the last 4 bars of the song for the intro. Thanks

Song edit mode.
iOS-tap the first beat of measure 1; tap the + button (to the left of the END button). You will need to do this 16 times to move all the beats along. Or drag across the first system (the selection goes blue) then choose Ins Space (insert space).

Android-similar to the above, use the INSERT button. Or if you want to insert space, Long press on measure 1 then tap at the end of the system, then long press on the selection for the menu, choose Insert space.

Mac-use the + button (to the left of the N button) 16 times

Then tap on the beats where you want to insert a barline/chord etc. If it is an intro, add In on beat 1, measure 1, so the player knows it is an intro (if you set repeats to more than 1, it will not play the intro each time.) Make sure there is an A at the beginning of the song (so the player knows where the song intro finishes and where the song starts).
Also you will need to delete the existing time signature and insert the same at the intro (assuming the intro time sig is the same as the rest of the song).
