If you start with a song sgu file, open the stylepicker and use the quick play using demo option to audition the style using the selected style demo and use the play using current chord chart button to audition the selected style over your chord progression you have input on the chord chart. The resulting audio can vary greatly between the two selections. Dr. Gannon recently showed how close a style can be for a song cover using Hotel California as an example. Playing the style over his chord chart (in the key and chord progression and tempo of Hotel California ) sounded very different than the style playing the demo chords and tempo.

Using the quick play button over your chord progression is a fast way to audition many styles without loading the style into your chord sheet and alternating back and forth between the stylepicker and chord sheet. You can choose a 4 bor audition or have it play your entire chord progression from the stylepicker page. Be sure to adjust the tempo to the correct tempo of your song. I sometimes find changing the first 4 bars to a specific chord progression to hear something specific to my song.

You can quickly alternate between two sgu files from the File Menu option which displays the last few selected song sgu's BIAB has opened. This allows you to go to another BIAB sgu file, Highlight and copy the chord chart, close and return to the previous file you want to work with. Highlight and delete the chords. Select the first bar of the song and paste the chords you selected from the other song into this chord chart.

This method gives the same result as Dave mentions but his method is the correct, conventional and proper way to do it.
