Don't think so. Just include an empty space in the clips to account for the count-in then set the loop start point appropriately.

thanks for your idea tiennon, but this trick does not fit to my needs unfortunately :(
I really need the same workaround than count-in option from preferences but for play launch

Then simply include a clip with Hihats or something for 1 or 2 mearsures. A workaround I know, but gets you what you need.

as I explain before, this trick does not fit for me
I have to have the possibility of count-in anywhere on the song (sorry, I can't explain more precisely because my english is so limited...)
I really need the count-in option behaviour from ableton, but for play launch
maybe in ableton 9 :cry:

A seperate clip with the countin you seem to be asking about can be triggered at any time. Don't know what more you need. Perhaps make the suggestion in the Wish List forum and you may get some alternative feedback. Good Luck!
