I am impatiently waiting for Ver. 2016 to be announced. While waiting, can someone tell me how many styles or style groups are in 2015. I would like to try writing some music and songs and like to have a large variety of styles to choose from. Looking forward to your answer. Many Thanks....

If I understand the question, I currently have about 4,367

I've also got years of 'extras' from various packages, but that's what my stylepicker says currently (on this machine). More than I've been able to audition to be honest ..

Not an EASY question and as you see by rharv's response I doubt any two installations have same number - depends on how many years you've been accumulating and mucking around


Well let's see, when I go into my Style Picker (same window as rharv's) the headers for groups of styles (not listing Real Track styles, MIDI only and MIDI super styles, bonus styles, stuff I bought from Notes Norton, and some from web).

The numbers in parentheses are the counts of all styles found (INCLUDING Real Track styles, MIDI only styles, etc.) .

Blues (312)
Classical (63)
Country (1069)
Folk (184)
Funk (180)
Hip-hop (52)
Jazz (952)
Latin (303)
New age/soundtrack (107)
Praise and worship (160)
R&B/soul (124)
Reggae (42)
Rock/pop (1361)
Techno (75)
World/ethnic (121)
Total = 5105

But at top my Style Picker window

"All Styles Found" is : 4496 and
"Other styles found" is : 480

That total is 4976

BUT in my BIAB root directory alone x:\bb total UNIQUE non-zero and non-blank .sty files are: 5505

go figure

FWIW my answer used the number from my 2015 Everything Pak drive.
I think that was the original question. I mentioned I also have more from 'extra bonus tracks', but that number I posted is what I see as included with 2015.
YMMV ..

Mucho Thanks Folks! I will be upgrading from 2011 and plan to go with the UltraPlusPak, so I should have plenty to work with. Have any of you d/l any of the files/styles/etc from the Yahoo BIAB group? If so, what has been your experience with those files? It appears they have plenty available but I don't want to load myself up with a bunch of stuff that I won't use. I sure do like this group. Quick answers, complete info, and lots of knowledge around this place. I really appreciate all the help I have been given.
