I first noticed this after I downloaded and installed the latest update to BiaB. So I'm thinking this is a glitch that the latest version has instituted. Am I wrong? Might I have inadvertently changed something somewhere? And if I have, how do I get it back to 5 beats?

Just in case my description in the Subject line wasn't clear, what I'm talking about, within the Stylepicker, there's a little window where you can click on plus or minus buttons to adjust a style's tempo. As long as I can remember, when I click one of those buttons, the style tempo will increase or decrease in 5-beat increments. Now, suddenly, it's doing it in 10-beat increments. When it does it, I can see the 5-beat increment flash by as it jumps to a 10-beat amount. Granted, this isn't really that big of a deal, but it is annoying having to adjust tempos repeatedly if I'm auditioning styles, which I frequently do.

So, if this is a new "feature," maybe we could see about it getting reset back to the way it was? Or, as I mentioned above, if I've inadvertently set it to this amount, could somebody please explain to me how to set it back? I've looked, and I haven't found a control for tempo in the Stylepicker.

Interesting.

First, I can verify what you are saying. I'm using BIAB 2022, testing Build 927 for Windows. You probably have 926, yes? If it turns out you are correct that a recent change occurred, we could try reinstalling earlier builds to discover which build made the change.

Second, I noticed while clicking on the little plus or minus sign that there is a quick ghost of the number that is halfway in between. So, if it reads 120, and I click on the plus sign, I see a glimpse of 125 before it changes to 130. Do you see that?

Third, as a workaround, I was able to simply type the tempo I want over the tempo shown. Can you do that?

Matt,

In brief, "yes" to all three of your questions.

I did mention what you call a "ghost." And I also referred to my annoyance at having to edit the tempos, which is the same as you described.

I'm not really interested in installing previous versions to find where this began to occur. I can only state that this little feature is something I make much use of, since I frequently audition various styles. So I feel most confident that this little bug appeared with Build 926.

MusicStudent, thanks for the confirmation.
