I'm going through some growing pains with using BIAB, and I didnt' see anything listed in Help section about adding a ritard for the rhythm section. Is this a possibility? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, it is possible.
In the latest version, press F5 at a bar near the end, and enter a number in Percentage Change in Tempo. To ritard, the number must be negative, such as -2. Do the same thing at every bar afterward.
This is from Help, Tempo Changes at Bar: % change in tempo
As an option to typing in an exact new tempo, you can change the tempo by a percentage in a range from –90 to 100. A setting of 100 doubles the tempo, -50 slows it down by half.
This assumes you have a fairly up-to-date version of BIAB; this feature was introduced maybe a year or two ago.

While this does seem to change bar by bar, if you want a smoother, more realistic ritardando, export to a MIDI file and use a MIDI sequencer.

Thanks for posting this! I'd been wondering about this also, but was too lazy to look it up myself.
If there's a ritard in a repeat, there doesn't seem to be a good way of resetting it at the start of the repeat. I split the last bar of the repeat into two bars, with the first having 3 beats, and the last having 1 beat that also restored the tempo. But it's a pretty ugly hack.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
