Could you pls help me?

Once you have a style that you like in BIAB, how do you find other styles which are similar to this particular style?

I know how to use the filter. But is there another way?
in the stylepicker have you tried pressing the G key

The [G] button searches again using the previous search.

The current style of the song is referred to as the Prototype Style. The prototype style can be changed to the current selection that is
highlighted in the list by pressing the [*Change Prototype Style] button.

Styles that have the same feel (triplets, eighths, sixteenths) and a similar tempo range to the current
prototype will be indicated with an (*) asterisk. Styles with a (^) caret have a similar feel but a different tempo
range.

note:
For each style, you see the following information:

(The example will describe the ZZJAZZ.STY)

Fav
- "F" indicates that this style is a Favorite.

*
- An asterisk (*) or (^) caret means the style is a "perfect" or "good" match to the prototype style.

File
- ZZJAZZ is the name of the .STY style file.

W
- The letter "W" indicates a waltz style in 3/4 time.

Feel
- The letters "sw" indicate that the style is in a Swing feel vs. "EV" for Even feel.

8
- The "8" indicates that the style is an 8th note feel (vs. 16th note feel).

Tempo
- 140 is the tempo for this style.

Name
- Jazz Swing Style is the full name of the style.

#
- Number of instruments present in the style.

NA
- NA would indicate that you don’t have all of the RealTracks or RealDrums for the style.

Sub
- If this column shows "sub," it means that a RealStyle substitution is available for the style.


Styles that are similar to the prototype are indicated with an asterisk (*). These are styles that have the same feel (triplets/ eighths/ sixteenths) and a similar tempo range. Styles with similar feel but a different tempo range are marked by a caret (^) symbol. So you can quickly see styles that are similar to Jazz Swing. The styles J_BASIE and J_DIXIE could be substituted with a perfect match so are marked with an asterisk (*). Styles like J_DJANGO are marked with a caret (^) because they sound best in a much faster tempo than the prototype Jazz Swing style.

Memo

Wonderful. Thank you so much.
