For those who weren't privy to David and my conversation, here's a
little bit of advice for song mode step edit.  The bottom line is:
"Make sure you insert a STOP step before saving and/or repeating." 
Also, if you think about repeat and erase as simply inserting or
erasing pattern change EVENTS (see the text event below; this is what
gets placed in the song track), rather than inserting or removing
patterns, all might be a lot clearer.

Well, it looks like all is fixed.  I put a stop step at the end of the
song and i think that enabled me to change lengths.    I did start from
scratch on a different song number, and had some shortfalls with that
too... Especially when erasing steps.  For some reason, when i erased
step one, it put step 2 to step 1 but made it 32 mearsures.   Go
figure.  Either way, it's fixed.  Thanks a lot...
