I'm not sure what you mean. Styles don't have any chords. They merely contain the information to be able to play the chord progression you enter into the chord grid. That's how all the demo files were created: by entering the chords and then selecting a style in which to play those chords.
Could you elaborate on exactly what you are looking for here?
If you are just looking for new and unique chord progressions, BIAB will generate chord progressions for you using the melodist. Sometimes you have to run it several times to find something that sounds good, and even then tweak it a little, but you won't just get I-IV-V by doing it that way.

In addition to what John and Matt have said, you have to input something of your own into the song. There are thousands of chords available other than I-IV-V-I. Don't expect BIAB to create a song for you without any input from you. Later, Ray

Also, keep in mind that you are always free to use chord progressions from any song that's ever been written. There is no copyright on these.
Sometimes when I find a song I like, I run it through the Audio Chord Wizard and find out the song's chord progression. I then use that progression as a starting place for my own work. When I do this, I usually change key because it helps me avoid writing similar melodies (which are copyrighted).
Similar to what you mentioned, I too find myself gravitating to a set patterns of chords. Doing the above, helps free me from those chains because it opens new possibilities and shows me progressions that would never have occurred to me.
I've checked out chord progression with the Melodist and along with Chord Substitution Dialog. Completely forgot about both of these. Better go back to BIAB 101 again.

What you are asking for is the midi file used to generate the sound samples of styles, there may well be versions of actual songs ( midi, BB (???.sgu)) on your system, look under open song, load song from style.. alternatively find the sample file and load it into chord wizard..
Dougle hi, I like your suggestion ... " look under open song, load song from style.."
Enclosed screenshot: But I don't see "load song from style". Could you be referring to Style picker and load song demo? If that's the case I do that all the time.
Thanks for responding.
PS: my initial request -- I had it all wrong, happy and took the suggestions mentioned earlier.
