Just installed the patch and when style picker rebuilt itself most of the styles on the list for the new RT area were missing. Just a big white blank area in the middle!
I reset BIAB to Factory Default, quit BIAB and restarted it and they now show up.
Helpful hint just in case you run into the same scenario.

Dear PG Music, in the description of the Dec. 13 update for Simple RealTracks, you list all the RealTracks that have the Simple variation available, including 34 new ones. This is a great feature, but in using that list as a reference, I'm having trouble finding individual tracks the way the list is sorted by your number.
Would you be able to sort on the first text column (instrument) as the primary key, and the second column as secondary key? Then we would see all the Bass, Acoustic followed by Bass, Electric etc.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Also: the 356b update only shows up as 356 (without the "b") in the "Help" "About" dialog, so I thought I hadn't installed it (which I actually did) so I installed it again.

Ok - we've re-sorted the list.

Yes, we just used 'b' in our description to differentiate it from the earlier patch, as the program .exe build is the same (some other files were updated)

Hi Bob,
It is very likely that you already have the latest update, pgmusic is very good about including the udpates on orders that come in after the posted update date.
If you go to Help-> About inside BB, you can view the version number there.
BUT -- the "b" suffix won't show in these.
If you have doubts that your reported 365 is perhaps not 365b because it won't do the things listed in the 3654b update, no harm can come of downloading and installing it, if it is already at 365b, no problems can happen from installing that again and if its not, you will rest assured you are up to date as of today's date.
Pays to visit the update page periodically and check for new update releases in future. If there, by all means download and install the latest and greatest.
Have Fun,
--Mac
