4 beat indicator

I have a few questions about this beat / phrase counter... most of the time it just displays "--" instead of a number. I have played with the settings and cue points. It never seems to countdown to the next cue point.

The only time it seems to show a number is when the setting is "Current Position (Bars)". But then the number showing seems to start from the beginning of the track, no matter where the first cue point or the beatgrid starts. It's virtually useless unless it aligns to the beat grid, and it would be pretty handy if it were aligned to the cue points.

What am I not understanding about this feature???

You can set the first beat of the bar anywhere, but if there is more than 1 bar ahead of that point, it will also be counted.

You can also change the count to the next memory cue (not hot cue) if you'd prefer. Go to Preferences > View

Thanks!  I finally figured it out that this really is only good for Memory Cues. I assume it's much more useful if someone has CDJs (I don't), but it's not great for the rest of us consumers.

The Current Position isn't really helpful for much.

The other settings are super useful, but would be MUCH MUCH MUCH better if there were another option to Count to next HOT CUE. For hardware with HOT CUES, memory points seem a bit useless. I only seem to use HOT CUES on my SX2, and I now have to do twice the work to set the memory cue on the same position as the hot cues.  Then the memory cue icons on the waveform are so big that it can be difficult to tell where the playhead is on the waveform at a quick glance.

Am I doing this as Pioneer expects us to, or is there a better way??
