When trying to fit a Style or RealTrack to a song, I often go through quite a lot of candidates before I choose one. At present, I end up writing their names on paper to make my shortlist prior to my final selection.
It seems to me that it might be nice if the styles and realtracks pickers had a 'shortlist' checkbox for this against each entry, perhaps sortable or filterable. Obviously it would also need a dedicated "clear shortlist" option, too.

Great idea as this would help me tremendously.

I think this could be good.
Just trying to understand:
You would review a style or RealTrack and flag it to your Favorites (Shortlist)
When selecting another style or RealTrak, your flagged Favorites would be clearly marked, and could be sorted upon
You could remove a style or RealTrack from your Favorites
Something like that?

Yes, something like that.
I avoided the word "favourites" to avoid clashes with the other favourites options.
Checkboxes for candidates for this song, intended to be a short-term option just whilst filtering and playing with this song. Yes: check, uncheck, clear-all.

ah but it already does have the ability to {somewhat} shortlist
Try Select Favourite Style, Shift-F9
from this Favourite Style dialog you can also reach Recently Played Styles
note the SAve Set and LOad set buttons lower left
After I search for a style for a song, I trim the Recent list with the Delete
and Save the Set in the same folder as the Song.
Now I have my Styles shortlist right beside the Song for reference.
Beyond what we have today this Favourite Styles management could be made more effective with some more Copy/paste/Arrange function

That may be helpful, though it will remember everything I've tried, including the ones I've rejected. It does, though, also have mode-up, move-down and delete. Frustratingly it's also one of the many modal dialogs, so one can't just move it aside. Now ... how to remember shift-F9.

I also took extensive notes when I auditioned for RT.
This is because the design of the RT dialog is not well classified.
I think at the very least there should be a music category, an instrument category. Instead of putting 3000 + RTS in a dialog box for everyone to view with a mouse.
A lot of clicking, experimenting, wasting a lot of time.

RrR Yes, this is there & I've used it on occasion. But it has one MAJOR functional flaw -- it merely contains the PG in-house code name for the Style or the RT, w/ no other info. I've actually taken mammoth amounts of time, copied the code to a text doc, went to Style Picker to find it, copied all its genre, instrs, feel, time, etc. data to my text doc & saved it there. Well, yeah, that didn't last long... We need more info there. So, say I input a new tune. Before I go to the full Styles / Browse list, I think of going to my "short list" (yes, I like that better than 'favorites' as there seems to be many uses of 'favorites' in this software). However -- I'm looking at a list of code names, nothing else. Codes for styles I've used over the last year, since the last upgrade. Blink. Blink. There may be forty codes there. Or more. I may recognize 1 or 2 by repeated usage. 1 or 2 may be discernible by their code names. But (just like most drug brand names) most code names bear no coherent connection to what it is, how it feels or what instrs are in it. So, I once again close out of the easy option & go back to the Main Style Picker w/ Browse yet again to start from scratch... Adding usable information in the Favorite Styles or Favorite RTs dialog would be a godsend & make that fully usable again... E.J.
