Set the automation to "Write" mode. Back up a few measures and hit Play. When you get close to the area you are wanting to alter, bring down the fader (easier using a control surface, but you can use a mouse). When you want to get back up to the normal volume, bring the fader back up. Then you can fine tune the automation by dragging markers around.
I understand that and have done it many times. I just wanted to try a fade and found out that I couldn't. Seems you should be able to do fades anywhere you want but apparently this is not so.
