What is the best technique for handling gradual tempo changes in BinB? (Meaning a ritardando etc over a few bars)

I think you can only change the tempo for the whole bar not each beat using F5. Like bar 1=120 bar 2=110 bar 3=100 bar 4=120

Thanks for the help. Twas what I suspected.
So do you folks take pieces needing ritards etc into your DAW and do it there?

You can do it in Realband but until we get RealBand with BIAB on Mac.

Solidrock is correct, it's measure by measure in BIAB. And yes, I take my song into a DAW to do a ritard.

Hey Solidrock, doesn't Garageband allow you to do a ritard?

You can get a little more control of your ritard by creating a series of single beat bars with each bar slightly slower. A little more cumbersome, but more control of tempo change.

OK All, I know this is an older post, but, I was searching for a possible solution to creating a ritarando. If what I'm about to say was answered, I got tired of reading so many posts requesting the feature.
It's a little cumbersome, but works. When I go to the spot I wanted to start "ritarding" I changed Bar Setting to 1 beat per bar and changed the tempo (I was at 100) to 90, then the next bar repeated changing the bar setting to 1 beat per bar, and then setting tempo to 80, I repeated about 6 more to a final bar, for my song, where I put a hold (like A...).
So, now each beat reduces by 10 BPM.
It worked for me!! I can send a sample of what I did if you want. Not sure if there is a PM mode on this.
Oops, I was using Windows version, but I'd assume it would work for Mac.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
