Hi, Nicole is right, Quantise actually alters the note data.
Here are two tricks I use for adding a rit at the end: 1. Play strictly according to the metronome throughout an entire track. Then add tempo changes where you want the rit. It is sometimes difficult to get the tempo changes right, but this is the MIDI purist's best solution. 2. Alternatively, what I do sometimes is play according to the metronome, but then ignore it when I want to add the rit at the end. Then, quantise *only* the part before the rit. Hope this helps. James.
