For my test, I used "Blue Monk.sgu" from the Norton_Music_Fake_Disks F37 The Real Book Vol 1 6th ed. It uses a RealDrums track. You're correct that the first beat is there, but at very low volume. What is totally bizarre is that when I maxed out the volume for the Song (from 0 to 36), the first beat was not only audible, but noticeably louder than the beat on 3 (for a 1-3-1214 count-in). IMO, that's a behavior that needs fixing.
