If this was my problem, what I'd do is ...
  • Save the file with a new name.
  • Open two instances of BIAB.
  • In the first instance of BIAB, I'd load the orginal file and in the second instance of BIAB, I'd open the newly created file.
  • I would then use that second instance of BIAB to audition the styles. When I found one that I liked, I'd go back to the original first instance of BIAB with the original file and modify the changing of styles.
To get this working, you may need to check that multiple instances of BIAB is activated in preferences.

That's a good idea, thanks!

Don't forget the setting in StylePicker to play the style when double clicking it. That regenerates your arrangement, but leaves StyleMaker open to double click on another style. I've used this technique for many years.



The problem here is that you actually load the style you're previewing, and you can't return to your previous arrangment without saving the file previously, or using Noel's workaround. I think it would better that, if you press CANCEL after previewing styles the way you explain, you simply return to your previous arrangment because no style was loaded. That would be a simple and very useful "preview" system, IMO.
