Hi Jan,

Here's what I do to narrow the field of choice ...

1. Enter into the style picker. If you cannot see the full names of the column headers (or the full contents in the column), it'd necessary to expand the width of the column. To do that, hover the mouse pointer over the left edge of the column you want to expand. The mouse point will change to become a black vertical line with a double-sided horizontal arrow - as seen in the image below. Once you have that cursor, hold the left mouse button down and drag to the right. This will expand the column (see the second picture below).



Expanded column ...



2. Now that the column is set so that everything can be seen, left-click on the column's heading "Tempo". This will sort the column by tempo. (An asterisk appears beside to "Tempo*" to show that this is the sort column.)



I do this because my first preference is always to use Realtracks near to the tempo of the song I'm writing. I've found that if a Realtrack's recommended tempo is too far removed from my song's tempo, artifacts spoil the sound of the Realtrack when it's generated.

3. Once I've sorted by tempo, I then scroll through the list of Realtracks and use the "sw" (swing feel) and "ev" (even feel) to narrow the field further.

Hope this helps,
Noel
