edit: Neat didn't know there was a .swf standalone, thanks

You sure can, rates on Flash Player 10 or higher using the R^3 engine (located here on the website, located here as .swf) don't necessarily have to be 1.05, 1.1, etc... They can also be 0.9x song speed, 0.75x song speed, 0.5x song speed, etc...

Further down the options tree in R^3 as well, there are options for isolation and starting note, which allows you to start from a certain arrow number in the song. It allows you to practice certain patterns that are located in a song, and can be used in conjunction with rates. Only downside is that you cannot record scores for songs that have a rate mod lower than 1.0x, and cannot record scores for songs that start on an arrow number other than 1 or 0.
