Wonder if a change has occurred with ‘Melodist’ feature, or maybe it has never worked as I thought it did?

I thought that style choice for Melodist was either to select one of the many ‘presets’ from left-hand panel, or for overall selected style - or any other one chosen from ‘Styles’ directory via ‘Choose (2)’ - would be used.

As it is, whatever style is shown in Melodist’s ‘Style’ section, the one highlighted in left-hand panel is what gets used for melody.

As an example, if Melodist ‘Style’ is shown as ‘Sturdy.STY’ and ‘Joplin 1’ is highlighted, then the Joplin style will be used. It makes no difference whether ‘Allow Style Change’ box is ticked or not.

I prepared a user melody file preset using ‘Sturdy.STY’ style, which then correctly allows this style to be used for melody.

Is it a case, then, that any of these presets will override whatever is set in Melodist’s ‘Style’ section? If so, there seems little point in allowing anything to be chosen there.

I do realise, though, that I might simply be doing something fairly fundamentally wrong. If so, can anyone point out what, please?
