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)

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.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

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.
