Last year, although it wasn't a "bug", requests were made for a convenience feature to be added to the Style Picker Window's tempo box (Just below where it says, "Play Using Current Chordsheet for song").
The requests proposed adding a feature that would allow the tempo box to use the tempo of the current song (which is reflected on the current chordsheet) instead of the suggested tempo(s) of the style(s) being auditioned.
PG Music acknowledged the requests and, in version 2021 (#845), I found it had been implemented. YAY!
I spend a lot of time "Style Fishing" and I really enjoyed the time-saving convenience that particular added feature allowed.
However, as of BB2022 (#s 908, 912, and 914), the SPW is no longer using the tempo posted on the Current ChordSheet! Instead, the tempo box has gone back to using the suggested style tempos only.
If some users prefer the Style-suggested tempo over the Current Chordsheet tempo, it possible that some type of toggle switch could be added to the StylePicker window, or Preferences, or both?
Personally, I was fine with the window using the current chordsheet tempo only!
In any case, please bring back the "Use Current Chordsheet Tempo" time-saving convenience feature to the StylePicker's tempo box window.
I didn't understand, the English is too bad ....^^
What do you mean by the "English is too bad"?
People from all over the world use these forums to get help and it always amazes me that they do their very best to explain their problem in English. For some people this is a very challenging thing to do because English is not their first language.
Quite honestly, given the worldwide nature of these forums, it's not a good idea to criticise people's ability to speak English.
I can only imagine the kind of messed language I'd type if I tried to talk in French. I only studied it for two years at high school. And that was a few decades ago.
Noel, thanks for the insight. I forgot about the Action button content.
Hi Jim,
BIAB is so feature-rich these days that I often find myself forgetting about things. This is especially true when I don't use the features but just rely on recalling what I've read somewhere, sometime!
That's why I really like these forums. Everyone's contributions help keep my on top of what BIAB can do!
3. Deactivate "Change 4 bar preview tempo..." — by default, this setting is active.
The setting can also be deactivated using the checkbox below "Load Song Demo" in Style picker.
I hope this helps. Noel
Thanks Noel96,
Your info and graphic did the "trick" for me!
Then, to satisfy my own curiosity, I fired-up BB2021 build #845 to see the status of the StylePicker Options checkmarks.
Here's what I found:
"Change 4 bar preview tempo..." was unchecked... and "Always change tempo to best tempo..." was deactivated as well!
So I guess I, like Jim Fogle... (Hi Jim!), forgot about the Action button content. Or, did PG Music change that window's default setting in a 2021 update?
In either case, I've got my answer and I'm a "happy camper" regarding my SPW tempo box help request.
Thanks again Noel96. I really appreciate you and the people in this forum community who try to help everyone who posts here.
I've got one more issue regarding Preferences Channels that's been on my mind for some time now but I'll bring it up in a separate thread so that I can mark this thread as RESOLVED!
