Hi, Trevor,

Thank you (and Mac and Peter) so much for helping me with this.

I did as you say and called up those settings after saving and then regenerating or reopening the song, but they simply did not save for me. I could not see the fade on the piano roll and more importantly, I could not hear the fade. I wouldn't mind not being able to see it as long as I can hear it.

Yes, I guess I could freeze the track but if I could get the expression settings to save with the song without freezing it, that would be my preference. I rather like the way unfrozen tracks vary a bit each time you play the song. But if I have to freeze it, I will, even though it seems that I shouldn't have to...right? Did you have to freeze it to get the settings to "stick"?

Maybe I need more detailed instructions? Here's what I did: I clicked on Piano Roll view, selected the S button for strings, clicked on the Control button, then selected "11 Expression MSB" and then in the lower box, I drew the diagonal fade line from the top left corner of the first measure where I want the fade to begin (measure 48 in this case) to the bottom right corner in the middle of measure 49 where the song ends. Measure 48 has for the final chord "E...d" (the drums are muted) then in the middle of measure 49 I have "A." to end the hold chord on beat 3. But after drawing the fade line, I don't see anything else to do except click on "Save" (or even "Save As.." and then replay the song. When it replays without regenerating, the fade is there but not if I regenerate the song or open another song and come back. Am I leaving out a step or something?
