I am running 2014.5.5359 on a Windows 10 laptop.

 

I am working on a score that starts in 3/4 time at 78 bpm. At the end of the opening section, I applied a rit. which is interpreted correctly with a gentle slowing of the tempo. I then change to  a 6/8 time signature (2 dotted quarter beats where the dotted quarter = 108 BPM). At the end of this second section, I have applied a rit. again, but this time, it abruptly slows way, way down, taking more than 1 second per beat! That is with the Human Playback style set to "Standard" - when I turn Human Playback style to "None", the 1st instance slows down a little more than when using Standard Human playback. When in "None' Human Playback Style, the 2nd instance of the ritard plays exactly like the 1st instance - a significant ritard, but nowhere near as severe as when using the "Standard" setting. Has anyone else encountered this?

In the case of the second ritard, did you enter an expression for your target tempo?

In the measure after the second ritard, I have placed a tempo marking of 1/4 = 78 bpm.

 

To be clear - both Ritard expressions are identical in their settings, including their playback settings; and they work identically with Human Playback Style set to "None", but behave quite differently when Human Playback is set to "Standard"

Hi Denis.

There are occasions when HP will get its knickers in a twist. Unfortunately, tempo changes (generally before a time sig change) appears to be one of them.

Rather than fighting with HP over the issue, I tend to just place series of tempo marks that control the rit. as I want it to. They can be discreet and hidden, but they work surprisingly well.

 

Cheers...
