In case it wasn't mentioned, pro audio engineers always leave some extra room at the beginning.

When I record tracks at home to send to someone, I need to know what that gap is, and I send the whole track even if I'm only playing a solo in the middle. All tracks in a project start with the same gap before the beginning of the song, so my added track drops right into place. In a way, the extra two bars BIAB adds before each track is helpful to reinforce this concept.
