"Other Bob C"- thanks for taking the time and trouble to respond.

I looked at the Help documentation and you are right, it indeed is 'helpful'. But alas I saw no way to do what I want.

I will try your workarounds and see if something can work.

But since I have to do this for every song, I think perhaps I'll just forego the flexibility of being able to invoke a ride at any point and just program in fixed drum and bass breaks and be done with it. And maybe I'll add it to the Wish List and Peter will take pity on me some day...

All the best Bob, Bob#2...
