Open the Editor and set the time signature to 3/4. There is generally no need to change the barlines, but a bar holding more than three chords will not play.
Then choose a style that suits the song. For a medium slow waltz, try Country, Jazz - Ballad Even, Ballad Melodic, or Long Notes. Adjust the mixer for any instrument that is too loud, and set the tempo by tapping it in.
