Ian, it matters in notation. I don't read or write music so that doesn't mean much to me.

It also matters in how the program selects riffs and phrases from whatever RealTracks are used. That does matter to me.

Here is a comment Peter Gannon made some time ago in response to a similar question I asked:

There are lots of places in BIAB that make use of this. For examples:
1. If you have a ev16 style loaded and want to switch to a Ev8 style, BiaB will prompt you (by a green flash message) asking you if you want to expand the chords and melody ;and double the tempo)
2. When finding best soloists, RT, chord substitutions, it will match a 16th based soloist to a 16th based style.

For Ev8, Ev16, &Sw16 vs Sw8 the same thing applies, with the addition that the notation window in Sw8 (not sw16) displays using triplets (simplifying to 8th notes for two eight notes as in jazz)
