I guess I'm suffering from a senior moment but I can't seem to figure out how to create a waltz (or any other none 4/4 song).

I know PG Music had a series of styles and a Gannon tutorial on playing in odd time signatures. And I have a couple tunes using the ZZWALTZ style. So I know BIAB can do it.

How can I determine (search for) styles in a particular time signature?

When I use the "Set Time Signature" dialog to set 3/4 for all the bars in my song, I still get a 4/4 count off. Plus most styles don't sound very good when forced to 3/4.

I searched the help and looked for a tutorial. I didn't find anything.

Thanks for the help

You don't need to do nothing, just load any 3/4 style, and you're done.

If you're using v. 2012, you can use the filter on stylepicker window.

Hope it helps

For Band in a Box, it's all in the styles. I have set the measure count to 3 and used 4/4 styles with some success. Again, it depends on the style.
