The steel guitar pickup on this song One More Round was done by the PG software. I'd have to open the file to see how it was handled in BB and in RB. I did not have to do any editing to get those notes to play where they do.

However, when I clicked PLAY in RB, the pickup notes are there. I don't mix in PG so I tend to always export the tracks and work in Sonar. When I import the tracks to Sonar, they come in with 2 blank (count in) measures before the music starts in bar/measure 3. The drum track has the count in, and in this case, the pickup notes were in their proper place starting in M2 on the steel track.
