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

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...
