Just ordered the update and was wondering if anyone has info on the "clean BB Folder" mentioned in the new features. What I'm wondering is does BIAB move files around during the installation if you have a previous version installed (2017)? I would love to get all my styles into a single folder, soloist in another, and melodist in yet another (not to mention the alphabetized listing of songs from the real book) under the BB folder. If anyone can explain how this is going to work I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that it runs as part of the Install process, and will move files into sub-folders, especially from the \bb\ folder.

It will automatically rearrange the locations of a multitude of files.

I didn't experience any problems with it, and it certainly cleans up the x:\bb\ root folder.

It can also be run manually from x:\bb\data\BB_Cleanup.exe

The process can also be run manually after the fact (so if you load some content from an older installer, which will probably put it in the main BIAB folder, you can run the "clean" program again to put it into the new folder structure.

Once done, you will find all your styles in the BIAB\Styles folder, and all the demo files in their own Demo folder. There are other changes, as well, but can't remember the details off the top of my head right now.

In 2017 version and older ones, I used to place my own user styles in BB\Styles folder, letting all the PG Music styles in the root folder.
If I run the BB cleaner, I will get a big mess, PG Music styles and my own styles will be mixed !
Is there any way to add a subfolder in the Styles folder ?

Thanks for this info. Looking forward to a much needed cleaned up BB folder!

Yep, they'll all be co-mingled in the Styles folder (I used to do the same thing; I kept the PGMusic provided styles and my Norton styles - since they all started with the # symbol, so easy to recognize, in the main BB folder. I then kept all my web-downloaded styles and my own personally created styles in the Style subfolder.

I agree, I wish there was a separate user style folder to keep them separated. Perhaps a wish list item?
