Default Changing the position of 0 sec. on the timeline

I like to have my songs start on or about bar #5.
Is there a way to get the min/sec timeline to start there too?
Or any place I choose, for that matter?
Thank you.

I don't believe you can. I wish you could.

The workaround is to use time-code instead.

Go to Bar 5 (in your case) then choose "Current Timecode Position" from the Setup menu and type in 0:00:00:00

Just to add: use 30 FPS Non Drop Frame time code, it will be the easiest for you to deal with (1 frame is 1/30 of a second)

Personally I would start at 01:00:00 but, that is residual from using systems that did not like to roll over midnight (00:00:00)
