Instead of using before start or after start as shown in the image below, is it possible to set cue points relative to a specific beat number. For example: After 1.1 instead of After start.
Some songs have risers at their beginning so the song starts only after the riser and I don’t want to consider the riser when auto generating cue points.

Yes and no… Fully automatic it’s not possible, it will always find a Start cue somewhere and use that.
But if you prefer more control over where the start cue is, then I highly suggest this guide: [Guide: the fastest way to set your cues](https://www.lexicondj.com/blog/guide-the-fastest-way-to-set-your-cues)

Thanks for the guide. I can also see that there is a use first cue as start option.
