Dear BIAB team,
Style maker is a great tool, with the ability to import a midi and transform it into style, the possibilities become endless.
Which brings me to a similar tool but more simple and more immediate, to take advantage of the transposition capacity that offers Biab, as would an arpeggiator or a hardware arranger, the ability to create a custom bass line, riff or piano track for accompaniment.
Example: Right click on the bass track, create custom phrase, then open the piano roll with one or more bars and the basic key in C major. We then enter the few notes that will constitute our custom phrase in C and we save it as custom midi file, we can then import it with the existing command "Select Custom MIDI Style for this track", but with the possibility of Browse and open this newly created file.

massichat, I'm not sure if you're aware but, from a midi perspective, Stylemaker already allows a user the ability to create custom riffs in any track and these riffs are then transposed and mapped to various chords. To do this, within Stylemaker there is a music notation editor. Regards, Noel

Noel96,
Thank you, yes I actually have seen that, apart from the fact that I find it very complicated (I have not managed to change any note ^ ^), I have not seen any possibility of inserting notes in the piano roll directly as in a DAW, nor the possibility to focus only on the sentence we want to edit, it is very technical and requires knowledge in theory, and it is more oriented on the style in general and at first glance require a high learning curve of StyleMaker.
I'd like something intuitive, or at least the ability to import a riff in a midi format, previously created in any other DAW.
If you see another method that does not require knowledge in theory, or at worst a tutorial that focuses on creating a Phrase from scratch, I'd love to learn it.

Hi Massichat. I also have no "knowledge in theory," and avoided any edit of styles for a long time. But after trying and exploring the style editor a little bit, I found it easy and comprehensive...
From what I understand u want to do, u can do it in two ways;
1.Make any bassriff in the melody/soloist track. Export it as a midi file. Then go to "File/Stylemaker/Stylewizard, and import the riff u want. Just assign the track u just made to the basstrack.
2. Open any midi style that have a basstrack u like, and open "File/Stylemaker/Edit current style"
There u click on the bass track, then on the note icon to the right of the red record button. This will open the note view windows. Here u just click on the "Edit note" box at the top left, to the right of the print box. There is 3 boxes there. Use the one in the middle. Now u can edit or insert any notes directly with the mouse. If u just want to edit the existing notes, click on the boxes in the main windows that has a number in it.(Usually number 5) and the notes will be visible. If u want to add a riff, click on an empty box. That will take u to a blank part of the note windows and u can insert any notes there to make the riff u want... Then insert a number from 1-9 in the box. Low number, will play it seldom. High number will play it often...
Hope this helps...;)

Hi Trygve Larsen! Thank you very much for your clear explanation, your first tip is perfectly what I want to do, I did not think it was possible. The second seems to be even more effective, so I'm going to memorize it and test it when I would have achieved a little more ease than you with the StyleMaker. Have a good day
