I was able to have functioning ritard by making just one long chorus and slowing down the bars at the end (3) by 10% in each bar gave me what I was looking for. I also tried the unfold as described in a previous reply. I had a curious thing happen. 1 It DID unfold and that was fine. However when playing it back to check out the correctness of my chords, turn arounds, etc ....It was playing something wrong. I erased the bars with problems and re-entered the correct chords ...the bad sound was still there. I noticed that MELODY (on the mixer) was ON ...I an 99 44/100% sure that I did nothing with MELODY. I muted it and my song was fine. Scratching my head!
