Style Picker; return to last style chosen? [Resolved] #645365 03/06/21 01:18 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

(It always goes to the top of the list, and I have to scroll down through multiple pages on the list to get to the next style.) Appreciate any help you can give. -Tom "Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us." - Pcom Pete

The 'Load Next Style (alphabetically)' sort of does that, but that is from outside the Style Picker, which unfortunately is modal. I'm not suggesting this resolves your issue for a moment, just looking at options.

If or when you go back to the style window your last selected style is still highlighted. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.

Cut and paste also allows me to audition several styles and quickly get back to the ones I prefer. Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

Since this exact feature is not part of Band-in-a-Box, as of yet, this would be a good suggestion to post in our wishlist forums. Best, Chantelle
