So I've recorded a short MIDI melody where the beat and bar counting should start on the second note instead of the first one.
I could easily pull that off in FL Studio by placing a time signature marker for 4/4 to where the second note starts to reset the beat counter.
But how do I insert an upbeat in Cakewalk?
Using the "Set Measure/Beat At Now" dialogue accessed by the drop-down menu from right-clicking the timeline gives me nothing but "Invalid measure and/or beat error messages stating that "The tempo required for that location is out of range" and that I should "Please remove some tempo entries in the tempo view around the desired time or enter a correct measure or beat", or saying that Cakewalk is "Unable to specify different measure or beat for the start of project". But, unfortunately, I have no idea what that actually means.
The project I originally wanted to work on should be attached to this post in case one of you might look further into my issue. Simple suggestions are preferred though, especially if I have just overlooked a specific feature in Cakewalk.
Thanks in advance,
