>ive lost count the number of times ive asked pg to implement that feature in rb.
maybe us rb users will get it when i'm in the old folks home...sigh.
why arent they pointing out little things in realband like not being able to audition a style picker style using the user chord sheet, like in bb

JustAnOldMuso,

It may seem like a “little thing” to implement the N bar preview in RealBand, but it would actually be a huge amount of work. There isn’t a playback engine inside the stylepicker. The audition files that do get played use windows media player. So we’d need to create a playback engine for the stylepicker, or get RB itself to do it (RB would need to ignore its own tracks, and create new temporary ones). Both are possible, just a huge amount of work for a relatively small feature.

As I expect you know, the N bar preview works with Band-in-a-Box. It’s enhanced in 2023, in that (1) it isn’t fixed at 4 bars, it is settable, and (2) you can set it to happen when double clicking on a style.

Have Fun!
