Okay I have the same problem. I found that I have to check the 2 bar lead in box in the Render Window. When you do this, although it includes all the bars of your song, it also adds the count in tics. I've had this problem before and don't know why this is. The way I'm solving it now is to load my song into WavePad (what I use but there are other pgms such as Audacity). Then I just delete the ticks and resave the file. It's a pain but it works. FWIW
