Count In settings should be Local (to each song), not Global to the entire system [Resolved] #310542 09/16/15 12:09 AM Band-in-a-Box Wishlist

This means that you either always have a Count-In for every song, or never have a Count-In. You cannot turn the Count-In 'off' for just one song. This setting would be greatly improved if it was moved from Global Preferences to Individual Song Settings. Songs with multiple time signatures, songs that have a refrain at the beginning, songs that begin with a background instrumental, and many others would benefit from this approach. I hope many users would see the benefit of the count-in as being settable on a song-by-song basis (with a default preference of course) rather than all or nothing.

Especially being able to save one song using the style drum pattern and a different song using a traditional click click count-in and a different song using no lead-in at all.
