It's been a busy gigging season so far this winter. Lots of gigs, and lots of songs to learn for clients and to get those gigs. In fact, I just got home from an afternoon gig an hour or so ago.

I've put every spare moment into it and it's finally done.

What's done?

BiaB changed the way the StylePicker works in 2016 which made the Norton Music and other user styles difficult or impossible to find. Peter Gannon and crew fixed that in version 2017 (thank you very much Peter and crew).

Peter got me started with this and I finally finished it. The files are available for download at http://www.nortonmusic.com and it is the first item on "What's New" on the home page. It's also available on the support page where it will stay even after it's removed from the what's new section.

The download comes zipped file with the files, instructions and an installation file (install.exe). Please let me know if this works or not for you. It works on my one and only copy of BiaB 2017 so it should. Also, please let me know if your anti-virus won't let you download a clean, harmless exe file.

Once the files are installed, re-boot BiaB, open the style picker window, do a slow complete reboot and the Norton files should be in there.

To find them, click the category arrow and then select Choose And Show User Category ...

The filters work just fine. To browse, just turn the filters off.

I tried it on an old BiaB 2012 version I have on a computer that was retired, and it still works on the old version of the StylePicker Window (I didn't see any reason why it wouldn't).

Please let me know if this works for you or not. The first few downloads will be unofficial beta testers. I see no way it can harm your BiaB, but it's always best to back up before installing anything new.

All feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
