I write aftermarket styles and so I get feedback from my very loyal customers. I hear all of the following:
  • There aren't enough rock styles
  • There aren't enough country styles
  • There aren't enough dance styles
  • There aren't enough European styles
  • There aren't enough Caribbean styles
  • and so on

Many of the above complain that there are too many jazz styles.

What does this all mean?

It's simple, 3,000 styles aren't enough. There might be too many of the styles you don't care to use, but there aren't enough of the styles that would work best for the type of music you want to play.
  • When you buy a Cable TV subscription, there are plenty of channels you don't watch - you get it for the things you do want to see
  • When you buy a music book, you get it for the songs you want to play and there are plenty you will probably never go to
  • Do you read every article in the newspaper or a magazine?
  • When you google something do you read every hit?
  • When you buy road map do you drive on every road on the map?
  • When you buy a radio do you listen to every station?

We buy things for what we want, and since many things are more economical to buy in the variety pack, we should consider the things we don't want as free extras, and if the things in the pack are worth the money, the free extras can be discarded.

Which leads me to this.

If you have styles in your pack that you don't think you ever want to use, why not make a new folder in BiaB, call it "Free extra styles", and drag the styles you don't want in there. Don't discard them, because next year your tastes might change a bit. But if they are in a separate folder, re-building the Style Picker Window should relieve you of the clutter.

I haven't tried it, but I think it should work.
