OK as you requested, here is the step by step instructions on how to make a Demo song that will play for your custom made style. I have been using this method for years so trust me on this, if you follow these instructions, it will work.

1. Create and save your style. In this case and for these instructions I will use the name Mystyle. The style will have the name Mystyle.sty and will be located in the default directory of C:\bb\styles. It will show up when you rebuild ALL styles. It has to be ALL styles because you created it and you gave it a name that is not in the default BIAB style listing from PGMUSIC.

2. Make a song in BIAB using your new custom style called Mystyle

3. Generate the song and make sure it plays OK to your satisfaction

4. Perform this: File-Save Special-Export as Mystyle.wma (Remember that this name is for my instructions I am typing up)

5. Make sure you save the wma file in c:\bb\Realtracks\Data\Style Demos Audio. It must have the same name as the name of your custom style.

6. At this point you should have your customized style located in C:\bb\Styles and you have rebuilt the style list using ALL styles. You should also have the WMA file located in c:\bb\Realtracks\Data\Style Demos Audio and it MUST have the same name as your customized style. In this case the style was named Mystyle.sty and the wma file was named Mystyle.wma

7. At this point the demo song you made up should play when you click on Quick Play Using Premade Demo

All we care about is the STY and the WMA file.

I just did this as I was typing out the instructions and it works perfectly for me.

I don't know what else to tell you.
