I like to have a very short pre-roll on playback, especially so I can hear how it plays across edits. In Pro Tools I have it set to 20 frames. Time code settings in Reaper, I haven't found my around that yet, but attached is a screenshot of my pre-roll settings.
Linked here is a video of the pre-roll behavior. Sometimes it plays behind my edit cursor, sometimes before, and at varied times. I thought it might have something to do with the "start of measure" setting, but if I turn that off, pre-roll behaves turned off completely. But the way its behaving I have to turn it off completely because I can't count on it.

Am I doing something wrong here? I want a short pre-roll on playback from where playback begins, which is always the edit cursor.
It should be noted that I'm NOT doing this with music in mind. Bars and beats have nothing to do with what I'm using Reaper for, if that has anything to do with this. Time Code would be ideal.
