When I save as an MP3 or midi, when set to play twice, the rit at the end in verse two doesn't happen!
Works fine on the .musx file.

I've tried deleting all midi data and re-entering. I even took the repeat out and added the extra measures and copied and pasted. It played fine, but when saving as an MP3 the last bar does not respond to tempo either from the midi tool or expression tool, unless it's set to much slower, 40 and not 60.
The second to last measure slows down but not the last measure. Fine on the .musx file but not for the MP3!

I totally re-entered all the notes, didn't copy and paste, as the other file was an old one.
Here it is. When saved as an MP3 or midi the second ending slows on the second last measure but not the final one.
Plays fine as a Finale file.
Tried ,aif and .wav. same thing.
Also tried on 2012, same result.
Tried changing the tempos at the end using midi and expression, same result.
Tried with Tempo Tool on 2012, same result.
Works OK when using Gariton sounds.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Seems like if I add an extra measure before saving as an MP3, then it works OK.

IIRC, that was a problem many years ago. You had to add that blank measure to let HP (or whatever) "catch its breath" before the recording. But I haven't heard about it for quite some time, so I guess I thought it was fixed.

I was able to get what you want. It worked for me, anyway. I deleted the MIDI data and used expressions. This is not an HP issue, as you have that turned off.
