I will let others relate how they deal with this issue and continue working on the project they had in mind when they started. In my case, I sort of gave up and let myself be inspired by the distractions. BIAB usually has a different, and sometimes better, approach to a chord progression. I have learned to cherish the 'mistakes' and run with 'em. But I am in the vast minority. (Think everybody else vs. me. )

I’m in that vast minority with you! But I don’t think that it is a minority. If you don’t experiment with different styles and chord progressions then I believe that you are missing out on a lot of what BiaB can contribute to your musicianship.

To help answer the original question, when I’m looking for a specific style I use search in the style window. I search using either artist names or song titles of the style I was trying to copy. This will narrow your selection to a more manageable list. For example the last song I posted was a 50s song so I searched Johhny B Goode, Chuck Berry, etc until I found exactly what I was looking for.

BUT don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. You never know what can happen when you do!
