Hi!

Is there a way to automatically generate all tracks in a song with a freshly selected style as soon as the StylePicker is closed by pressing the OK Button?

I kind of remember it was the case in the past but can’t find an option to restore this useful behavior.

Thanks!

If you select 'Play Using Current Chordsheet' option, and then press OK, I believe that all of the tracks have been now generated with the freshly selected style.

Is that helpful?

Thank you for your suggestion.

Actually it's not the behavior I'm looking for... as in this case the tempo of my song would be automatically modified to meet the chosen style tempo.

I'd simply like to avoid having to generate manually all tracks ***after*** closing the stylepicker, as it is obvious that by pressing OK at the bottom of the stylemaker I intend to apply to my song the new style I've just selected (without changing the tempo of my song of course). I remember that was the previous behavior of the stylepicker, which came in handy.

In the 'Recently played Styles' list for example, there is on option called 'Play when chosen' which is very similar to what I'm looking for.

I want to try this out for myself later, but I think I see what you are saying: why regenerate twice? What happens if in the screen posted by AudioTrack you also change the tempo where it says t=?

Do you know when it used to work the way you would prefer? Knowing when the change occurred could help the developers find the problem.

"Why generate twice"...

Yes, that's exactly it Matt.

It is always possible to manually change the tempo by filling in the "t=" box, but it is tedious (and somehow 'buggy' if you try to enter an unusual number) and it's an unnecessary step from my point of view.

I think that the automatic re-generation of the song when exiting the stylepicker was working in 2021, but I can't be more specific.

Thanks anyway for your help!

Makes sense to me. Unless someone else knows how this is done in one step, I suggest you make a post in the BIAB Wishlist Forum.

There currently is no way to generate and play immediately after playing a selected Style. We would recommend adding this to the Wishlist Forum . Thanks!

<< Is there a way to automatically generate all tracks in a song with a freshly selected style as soon as the StylePicker is closed by pressing the OK Button? >>

Try this:

From the StyleMaker - highlight a style and use the play using current Chord Chart Song button.
When the song begins to play, hit the StyleMaker OK button and the screen switches to the Chord Sheet Main screen without any interruption of the song playing the selected Style. There's no regeneration. The selected style is loaded onto the current chord sheet of the song and plays at the correct tempo and key signature.

Brilliant! Thanks a lot Charlie.

Your suggestion fits perfectly.

For this to work, it's necessary that the box '4-Bar Preview' is left unchecked (a point I must have overlooked but which makes perfect sense in this context).

The only drawback is that each change of style changes the tempo of the song to match the style. There is however an option to stop the style picker to change tempo by clicking the action box at bottom centre of the Style Picker, then clicking on 'Set Dialog Options', then unchecking 'Always change tempo to best tempo for style whenever a style is loaded'. More here.

Regards

Glad it worked for you. One note, there are two boxes to uncheck in the set dialog options for the tempo to follow the Chord Sheet song tempo rather than the style tempo.
