You can set a SMPTE offset for the project. As songs don’t always need to start precisely
at bar 1, you can select any bar position to be played at the set SMPTE time.
In Logic Pro, click the triangle on the right side of the LCD, then choose Use SMPTE
View Offset from the pop-up menu.

33ms.

spaces, rather than the number 0 in SMPTE time displays.
