During playback itself, the latency of the buffers can be taken into account when sending the metronome notes to the soft synth. I could try eventually having it implemented in the future, but I'm not sure if that would result in the count-in notes being slightly delayed and/or possibly the last count-in note being cut off when actual playback starts. It would really depend upon what buffer sizes are being used. Whenever I work on a song, I usually create a 2 bar lead-in (such as by generating RealDrums or filling a track with a drum pattern) which serves as the count-in if recording from the beginning, and if I need to record in the middle of the song I usually don't rely on the metronome count-in but just use the punch-in feature and start a bar or two before the punch-in point.
