UNDO is one of these BIAB features that never was fully implemented in BIAB. One of the most common task when working with the program is to try different styles when working with a song.
Unfortunately, if you load any style to check how it sounds, but want to return to the original style you just can't, since UNDO doesn't work here. And if you haven't written the name of the original style in a piece of paper, finding it again can be a big PITA.
Using the new "Play using the new Chordsheet for song" feature on the stylepicker window doesn't help either, because that feature, contrary to the expectation of 99% of the users, actually loads a new style in the main project (even if you press cancel on the stylepicker window after using it), which is, again, an undoable function.
Please, make UNDO to work when changing styles.
Latest BIAB version, latest build.

As long as you haven't saved the song you can always reload the original. There are even quick ways to do that. The file option on the menu bar gas the last few songs listed. There is even a pair og buttons for nxt song / ptevious somg that will work.
But an undo option would be helpful

I audition styles from the Stylepicker window to avoid losing the current selected style.
In the Stylepicker window, on the right side is the option to
'Play using current chord sheet for song' It is designed to do just what your wish is.
This selection allows you to also change the tempo from a set value such as 120 bpm to the actual tempo of your song which may be 117 bpm. You have to adjust the tempo with each audition but it is still faster than loading styles into your chord sheet.
Using this option is faster than loading styles into the chord sheet and you can limit the audition to the first 4 bars if that is sufficient for you to determine if the style is what you are looking for. If you do not select the 4 bar option, the audition continues to play through your chord progression.
Sometimes I am interested in choosing a second style to switch to during my song and it is located further down into the songs. On such occasion, I will change the first 4 bars of my song to match the second style with the fast 4 bar button selected. Once I have found a suitable second style, I change the first 4 bars back to their original state. This saves several minutes of listening to multiple verses and chorus's just to audition a change.

No, Charlie. As I said before, when you use that feature, you're actually loading a style into your song, which is undoable. Please, try it

No, Charlie. As I said before, when you use that feature, you're actually loading a style into your song, which is undoable. Please, try it Your right, the style being auditioned is actually loaded into the song. This, and the fact that the tempo is changed to the new style (unless you manually adjust it) are the reasons I rarely use "play using current chord sheet" Having said that I'm not sure I need an Undo feature. When I want to go back to the original style I just re-load the saved song. Tony
