Troubleshooting transients: is it possible to combine retrospective recording and threshold rec?

When recording guitar, I often miss the transient. Fundamentally, that's a flaw in my musicianship; I'm not arguing with that. The settings described here are helpful: https://wiki.loopypro.com/Troubleshooting_Transients. One suggestion is to use threshold recording. I've tried that, and it works. But I also like retrospective recording: it's become my preferred method for building up a song.

Is there a way to combine these two things, threshold recording to catch the transient and retrospective recording?

    Retrospective recording is time-based. It either captures the last completed cycle OR grabs the audio going back from when you trigger the retro recording. There isn’t a way to grab that amount of time plus additional time before that (which would be needed to grab a transient that preceded the cycle).

    Thank you for confirming that, Edward.
