How do I create an introduction to a song

[pdxdjazz]

This is my first time using irealb. I'm singing along to a song, & would like an 8 measure intro, but don't know how to create it. Can some one tell me? The counting is fine but a musical intro would help me find the pitch. Thanks.

You could edit the tune. Insert extra measures at the start labeled IN. (that will tell the player to only play it once at the start) and put in your intro chords.....or....
The easiest thing to do is to add an extra repeat to the player screen and then start playback 8 bars from the end of the tune.
