Mr. Finley:
Thank you for your speedy reply......

I figured out what I did:

On the first bar of the progression I right mouse clicked < song settings > then < edit settings for bar #1 > I set tempo to 120. So of course BIAB did exactly what I instructed it to do. Once I < edit settings for bar #1 > tempo to 0 everything worked fine.
Many thanks............................
