Funny you should ask

This is not official PG numbers (although I am sure they can tell you) there are officially 78 Style disks ("0" is built in and then the 77 others) - just kidding

1. I own all PG styles (all RT's, all MIDI, all supertracks, etc. including rare onesie-twosie's that that were in bonus only paks)

2. ON MY PC I have Norton Styles, and at least a few dozen non-PG styles (but NO built USER styles - meaning no styles that I BUILT) and there are *.sty's files everywhere in my BIAB folder a lot of duplicates (like "ZZPOPBAL.STY" 10 copies in various folders, and "ZZBOUNCY.STY" 6 copies, etc.) so… some sorting needs done.

I went into the Style picker, refreshed it it shows:

"all Styles [4424]" and "Total style entries = 10994" as shown in the style picker title bar (top of that window). But I know there are styles lower that are NOT counted in the "All Styles" so that didn't help much - close but not exact. Some are counted multiple times, some are unique, etc.

So I created a .csv of everything listed, moved it into Multi-Edit (a programmers text editor that can handle, essentially, unlimited columns of information and as many lines as can be "held" by all PC HDD storage space) and verified that every entry listed in the Style Picker window, under all headings, were in the file.

Next, I imported that CSV into MS Access (database , where things can be properly sorted and counted. Excel sucks at this kind of stuff compared to an actual database -besides DB's are second nature to me)

Total ENTIRES in the file are: 18,695.

Total UNIQUE entries are: 5111

Total NON-Norton entries are: 4723

Hence, Total Norton entries are: 388


Unfortunately, the non-Norton number (4723) is LARGER by at least a dozen (or multiple dozens?) then actual PG supplied styles.

I repeated the above on a virgin 2015 PG Ultraplus Pak HDD:



Virgin 2015 PG Ultraplus Pak HDD (without running the 49 pak add-on; no accumulated PG .stys that may have been made available in past bouns paks; no other 3rd party styles, etc.)


Style Picker window:

"all Styles [4367]" and "Total style entries = 9538"


And DB queried Style Picker created CSV file:

Total ENTIRES in the file are: 17,235

Total UNIQUE entries are: 4,389

Total Norton entries are: 0 (as it should be)
