Yeah, I have heard the ones on the garritan website. They are amazing. Anyway, I cleared out the data from the second half of the file, like you said in your previous message.
Putting in a rall in the last couple of measures actually worked! Doing it in the problem measure, however, didn't make any difference. The program just ignores it. I also put it in at another measure, which the program follows - but completely ignores the 'a tempo' in the next measure...
