Its called ritardando.I looked it up.lol.I can see how to do it in BB but what kind of slowing should I apply to each bar?
I tried a few but they sound pants.Is there a technical musical percentage Rule I should follw? I'm not a trained muso and cant read music,I play by ear.Thats why I adore BB. So KISS please.

Yes, this is often a necessary step, and is actually easy to do with BiaB.

Select the first bar that you want to apply a ritardando, and press function key <F5>
In the bar settings dialog, select either
Tempo Change to x beats
or
% change in tempo

(I think the 'percentage change in tempo' option works better for a ritardando progression - tip: use a negative number to slow down, e.g. -10)

Repeat for any/all following bars, and after regenerating, the song tempo will progressively slow down. Experiment to your liking.
