I hope someone here can help me out.
Out of the hundreds/thousands of styles available, surely there must be a style
that fits Corea's Spain perfectly?

I mean a style for the main groove of the song.

I don't think there is a close match in BIAB. A search suggested _TRIPEAR, _RALLY & _RAMBHA.
I doubt if they are very close at all.
Additionally, Spain needs those single side-stick beats playing behind the left and right hand unisons.

Thanks AT, that's a shame really. frown
After all these years, nothing even remotely close.
The groove (style) they get is really top notch.
It's actually something I think that is achievable in BIAB if the programmers put their minds to it.

As I mentioned, the unisons are not really that important. It's just the main groove that I am after.

This is absolutely my favorite performance of 'Spain', by Yohan Kim (he was about 15 or 16 years old when he performed this).

Amazing talent:

I haven't tried to do this song in BIAB, but in addition to the stop-time hits in cut time that AudioTrack mentioned, it breaks into a nice groove that I think some of the samba instruments might be able to simulate.

You may be able to find a decent MIDI file somewhere, that is specifically a backing arrangement of Spain.

Some I found:
https://www.midi-hits.com/search-results/type-title/find-spain/all-words-off/

https://bitmidi.com/c-corea-spain-mid (apparently a free download)

Another download site here:

Thanks folks for your help!
I never would have searched for a Samba style for the song, but it seems to work best with BIAB.

I play the jazz trumpet chair in one big band that loves to play Spain. I have a blast blowing over the samba feel.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
