Rapid Composer and harmonize problem

[rockbandguy]

This weekend I want to make progress on Rapid Composer.
I picked up a melody I like - Auld Lang Syne.

And I wanted to add to it with RC.

As a first step I thought I create harmonies and I fail even with this "simplest of steps"...

Here is a short video of my problem: https://youtu.be/tNDAr73Ches
Two things that go wrong:
Despite the fact that I want the melody to remain as it was, the melody gets altered.
And the result is not very harmonic to my ears.

Please help!

Thx a lot.
Best regards, Adrian

Hey Adrian, sorry for taking so long.. can you attach the midi file for the melody here? I will see what I can do...
