Sequencer section/"Click button"/ underline "countoff"/select "quiet" . Gives you 1 bar of silent count-off.

excuse me for all of the writing typos, here it's late night now, I think I should just go to bed, but I can't get to sleep if there's an idea stuck in my mind...
I think then I should just check out what I write before posting :)
