Thanks, Chris for responding. On time interval, I have it set for 5
seconds. When there is NO background music I turn "Spaced to Music"
off. Here is what I have:

Main Menu: Background picture, mp3 song 159 sec long.
SS#1: 18 pictures, mp3 song 215 sec (12 sec/pic)
SS#2: 24 pictures, mp3 song 182 sec (7.6 sec/pic)
SS#3: 46 pictures, mp3 song 249 sec (5.4 sec/pic)
SS#4: 64 pictures, mp3 song #1 148 sec, mp3 song #2 203 sec
for a total of 351 sec (5.5 sec/pic)

Settings are:
Slide Duration 5 sec

Crop images to fit (images are full 2272x1704 from Canon G3)
Apply Anti-Filter OFF

Spaced to music length

I will attempt to send you the ".xats" file by e-mail - don't see a
way to attach it here.
