MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.2/1/16

I have a pianist play the verse of a song, I copy it and add it to the project as many times as I want repeated verses. I want to slow down or drag out the last measure of the final verse to create a ritard to complete the song. How do I do that?

My ipad (mini first model) came with IOS 6 and was updated to IOS7. An attempted backup wiped it out back to IOS6. Is there any way to get to IOS7 or is my only option IOS9.
Thank you.
