NOWHERE on that page did I find a place where I could type in the simple keyword "bossa".



+1 for being able to type "waltz", "bossa" or "7/4" and restricting the listed styles to just those styles. It just makes sense.

Other than that, I can usually get "close enough" to the sound I want within 30 minutes or so. Even if it is just the bass and drums. Then I can add my own instruments or search for RT's that work.

Would also be nice to add a midi "piano" part to a style that doesn't have one, without going through the "build a style" routine. I have not been too successful in that area. (but I understand midi parts are tied to styles, so I know that could be complicated).

Great program, in my opinion -- no matter the shortcomings.

P.S. Even though BIAB can be used as a compositional tool, the ability to bend BIAB completely to your will is tough if you are alt country and things like that. It can be done, but I think it takes a lot of experience. So I only expect BIAB to take me "most" of the way there (or at least 1/2 way).
