Writing midi before bar 1
 

Hello,

How is everyone doing?

Are there any experts out there that know why Pro Tools 9 won't let me write a midi note before bar 1?

I am rewiring Reason with Pro tools.

Thank you very much!

Since bar 1 is the start of the time line, how can anything be written earlier?

Some apps let you create negative bars. I think Cubase allows you to start like that.

Often I'd start at -2

Just re-number the bars.

You can use "re-number bars" function or "identify beat" function to change bar 1 to bar -1 giving you two extra bars before the original bar 1.
