Description

Your idea

When I press 'Play' it silently moves over the incipit bar for four beats.
Can we have an option to suppress that so that it begins on measure 2 = displayed measure 1?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Play command and the handling of the incipit or measure zero, then determine where an option would be exposed and how playback should begin at displayed measure 1. Done means the option suppresses the silent first measure without changing normal playback when it is disabled.
