I’m a programmer and I’m not sure this question belongs in the Beginner Forum. It might get more traction in the regular BIAB product forum.

Would you read the first style encountered in the song and ignore any subsequent style changes? Or would a song be indexed multiple ways for multiple styles? For multiple soloists?


I didn't even know you could have multiple styles and soloists in BIAB blush blush blush
I just wanted to expand BbwExplore.exe, by adding the possibility to send its output to a file or the file listed to a folder, but I will explore the possibility to add a second (third, fourth ?) filter which could offer a way to have a general folder say for Jazz, then children folders with say x as soloist... and so on.
Thanks for the idea !
And thanks for the suggestions concerning Pipeline (he drew before I read your post !) and Jerome.
I'll eventually post in the regular forum, to get opinions about the layout of the program and number of "filters", and maybe the "output" (for me its to have folders, some people may be interested in having a list for say feeding a "jukebox" program).

Thanks, but wouldn't this limit me to the style I currently have ? I mean I would have something as automatic as possible, as I plan to make my program freely available to BIAB users.
Besides is there something similar for say soloists, as Matt Finley ideas to have multiples filters lit a candle in my mind ?
