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"
