OK, I'll try here with one method that might work. In this case I'll choose just bar 6 for a location to put your count-in:

A: Layout your song as normal, however many bars you need.
B: Open the Notation Window and select the Melody Track - 6th from left(1), Edit(2), and drop 4 notes on the stave(3)
C: In the mixer select MIDI Instrument Patch > Select General MIDI patch > a MIDI bank such as Agogo-114 or Wood Block-116 (4)
D: On the Chord sheet, click on bar 6, and press F5 (or right-click and select Chord Settings)
E: Mute all tracks except for the track with the Agogo (or Woodblock) on it (5)
F: Click on Bar 7, press F5 and return all tracks to normal (6)

If you have multiple choruses, you may have to repeat the MIDI trick on other bars as I don't know if those notes play during the chorus repeats.

If you get brave, you could reserve 2 bars for the count-in and use a 1 - 2 - , 1-2-3-4 technique.
