If you watch a midi track, which is say on the strings track, after pressing F5 in the midi monitor you will see that it did what you want.
Midi tracks, like Realtracks, change everytime play is pressed, unless you push the snowflake or freeze the track (right click the button.

However the F5 will allow you to change some parameters and have them stick, and you will see that you can decide if it's for one pass or verse, or all, thus bringing in out parts.

This is not a midi editing program. You can export the whole thing as midi (unless there are realtracks) and play with it elsewhere.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, you just need more 'training'. There are videos!

And 'man to man' eschew the manual. Real men don't. Trust me. But if you have to take it to the loo.
