4 beat Count In in Piano Roll recording?

Complete Newbie to LMMS and really enjoying it, but there is one question I have.

I have hooked up my Midi keyboard and I am able to record using the Piano Roll. I just click the record button and off it goes, no proboems.

However, it seems to record straight away. Is there any way that it can do 4 clicks on the metronome so that I know when to start playing? A Lead In I suppose you could call it?

If this is not possible, I can just wait four beats and start playing BUT , then how can I trim away those four leading beats?

I hope I have explained my problem clearly, hopefully somebody here can help me with this.

Thanks a million.

unfourtunate, no. Record is instantaneous. No delay is posible -would be a neat feature and very simple to implement, though

I have a little bit of a work around, so not completely stuck.

I just make a loop in the Piano Roll and put the cursor a few beats from the end. then, when I press record it loops back to the start and I know when to play.
