rubatosin midi are just... for them.. I insert random values at precise specific intervals. This is why i say.. that the progression tool (used for ritardandi or accelerandi?) would be nice if it had a checkbox or some way of setting a random witch to insert those tempo events at random intervals and so we can probably get more "musical"
