All I put in was an a tempo from the tempo text options. I didn't put a hidden Q=80. I just did that and hid it and it seems to be okay.

Shorten it to the penultimate beat in that bar. Or did I understand that you did put in a Q=80 back into bar 9, correct? If you didn't then of course that would be a problem. You need to put that back in, and if you don't want it to show, them use the hide function.

The tempo lasts through the end of bar 6. At bar 7, I have a ritard for two measures and I then want my original tempo of q to resume at bar 9. I placed an a tempo in the score at bar 9 but my playback is stil playing as if the ritard was stil in effect. How can I get my playback to respect this a tempo? Is it possible? Do I have to put up with the rest of the score playing at the wrong tempo?
