changed the tempo at the bar changed it back at the next bar and everything works like a charm. I opened it up then in real band and saved it and real band. No idea if there's any advantage to that or not, but I doubt it. Thank You men. Ed as far as sonar I don't think it should make any difference. I just dropped in as audio tracks. I won't be doing any MIDI to this unless its real time so want quanting wouldn't be a factor and I probably won't need the metronome.

Unfortunately this one has one of those noisy piano RealTracs as discussed in another thread. I wonder if I could use a MIDI piano track? If it didn't sync 2 the metronome... But I could probably save it as a wav.

thanks everybody!
