Creating your own styles requires a learning curve, but can be rewarding in the end.

Search the PG site and YouTube channel, there should be some tutorials on the subject.

I've been writing aftermarket styles for BiaB since the early 1990s when the StyleMaker was relatively feature-less by today's versions, so I've grown with it as PG Music has expanded its capabilities.

Start with something simple, triplet based. I'm not sure how to find that in the Mac version, I have always made styles on Windows. Many years ago I found the Windows version of the StyleMaker to have more features than the Mac version. The Mac may have caught up to the Win version by now, but I got used to how the Win version worked and never looked back.

A basic knowledge of music theory helps, as does an understanding of what each instrument's job in the ensemble should be. As you learn the ins and outs of the StyleMaker your styles will get better and better. So take it slow, one step at a time, and build your knowledge about it.

Most of all, have fun while you are doing it. IMO music always sounds better when you have fun making it.
