I remember a few years back, while in the "Select Style Prototye.." window I would be able to highlight a particular style and type in a shortcut like "control-Z" or something like that and it would change the style being played rather quickly without closing the style window. I could preview several styles without closing the window.
Anyone remember what this shortcut was?

Did you check the "Preview on double click" option in the Stylepicker window?

The speed with which it plays styles also depends on how fast your computer is - especially with any real tracks involved. Midi styles preview much faster.

I was looking for the old keyboard shortcut. I try to use these whenever possible because its a little less painful than the wrist movement.

I've been through the complete list of short cuts for BIAb and unfortunately there isn't one for doing that. There really should be though, especially for us blind users who find it hard to use the mouse to do that. I ended up using the macro feature in my speech software to simulate the mouse actions required to preview styles quickly. I guess that's one for the wish list.

Hi,
I found a list of keyboard short cuts in the.pdf manual that came with BIAb 2012. The heading in the manual is Keyboard Shortcuts I bet a list of all the keyboard shortcuts can also be found somewhere on the BIAb. support page

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
