What is the total number of styles after BIAB2024 installation? All installations, official content, no need for third-party, display all installations. But I have different numbers multiple times? So, how many styles are there in total? 11,139 ？ 11,131？ ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27508&filename=2024-02-29_132650.jpg)

Be prepared to give or take a few. I get 11,141. Pretty close to you.

I noticed something strange.
For example, 2023 1006 I do not install, I just install 1013 will be less style.
Similarly, if I install the 2024 1109 directly, it will have fewer styles. If I install all the updates, will I have all the styles?

Wow that is a lot of styles. Most of which I will never use but it's good knowing they are there. The ones I do use are absolutely on target and are very useful.

Turns out I'm missing about 75 styles.
Can you tell me which ones? Smile.
I'm especially concerned I may be missing some of the early polka midi styles that prove so useful in my everyday work. BIgger smile.
Seriously
Astounding the amount of material PG Music has provided.
A subset is relevant to my work but each year my scope broadens.
Recently I've discovered the Cuba Son Clave (2-3 and 3-2) Styles and Real and midi track . Great work tracks by Rebecca Mauleon.
First rate stuff. Authentic bass lines also.
I'd like to see more in this vein, especially Percussion section stems. That would be great.

Within the probable joke is a legitimate question. I wonder if PG Music could post and maintain a PDF of all styles, listed alphabetically. At least it would be possible to compare and identify what’s missing. It would be helpful if the list included info about the year released, and the name of a bonus pak if applicable. EDIT: Never mind; I see it's already possible. See below.

We need a PDF file. Let us know what needs to be installed..

If you're asking for a PDF file list of the styles...
Alphabetic is fine but..... by genre and subgenre would be really helpful with each style listed only one time and no crossover. Oh yeah.... and a short description would be handy too.
Sure we have something similar in the stylepicker..... but there's a lot of crossover between the various filter options. I see bluegrass, americana, folk and more showing up in those sub genres and also in medium rock style lists.
That's a lot of work.....

For people who use Excel, I remind you that it is possible to export the entire style base in a file and process it as you want: Open the StylePicker, chose [Option] then "Copy List To Clipboard". That puts the entire styles list into a CSV format list in the clipboard, from where it can be pasted into, I suspect, any spreadsheet program, or probably into a database file.

Using a database it the way to go IMHO.
If you have MS Office you can convert an Excel file into an Access file. I'm sure there are other spreadsheet to database conversion programs available for other databases.
In a database all one has to do is to search for keywords like jazz, country, folk, etc and all styles with said word will show. No need to add other columns of data. YMMV.

Yes, finding a list of our own styles can be achieved, but that doesn't tell us about styles that PGM have created and we don't have. A definitive list of every PGM style would be a useful reference.
The ability to sort would be a bonus.

I'm assuming everyone here reporting 11,130 or more styles includes all the Xtra and Xpro Styles PAKs, right? I only have a few of those, so I am reporting 8399 styles. Also, I have missed a few bonus paks over the years.

I get different numbers each time I check! On first check this morning, ~12000. Then rebuild and it is down to ~9000. So I just stopped doing that.

Yes, I would also like to know exactly how the ”rebuild styles" function actually counts the number of styles available.
Does it count the actual styles in the styles folder, or does it come with a list of styles for a particular version of BIAB for which it then tries to match the available styles against? (if it comes with list is that list stored somewhere?).
I don’t find any logic in how it works! sometimes it just toggles count up or down 1-2 styles. Why is that? If it counts the styles, why is it counting differently sometimes).
I have also experienced that it may differ from time to time without having done any changes at all to the number of styles or the version of BIAB installed.
When installing an older version of BIAB, but with the styles intact and unchanged in the styles folder it also changes the number of styles after rebuild.
If I have ”my full set of styles” installed in the styles folder within BB, say after I have installed the 2024 BIAB I have 11131 styles.
If I then reinstall the 2023 BIAB then I only have 10270 styles after a rebuild.
If I then go back and install the 2024 BIAB I have again 11131 styles after a rebuild.
And so on it seems to change on each version of BIAB even if the number of styles in the styles folder have not changed.
Or does it mean that I have 861 styles (11131-10270) that only works in BIAB 2024 and not in 2023? but I have not seen any such notice.
It would be very interesting to know exactly how works.

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."
