I found that there is an option in stylepicker called other.
Can I create my own directory here?
So why should I do this?

Because there are so many music styles, I selected some music styles suitable for rap, some suitable for dancing, and some suitable for children. I wanted a quick way to enter.
Currently, only one favorite can be used, which is not enough.

Therefore, I hope to create my own directory classification.

How can I accomplish this??

Action

Clicking on the [Action] button shows you a menu with options to select/create User Category, add the current style to the User Category, set styles as a favorite, etc. These options are also available if you right-click on the list.


Select/Create User Category: Unlimited User Categories can be created by users or third parties, to list their styles in the StylePicker by choosing their category.

To select an existing User Category by choosing Select/Create User Category. When the dialog opens, select a category and press the [OK] button.

To make your own User Category, right-click on the list, choose Select/Create User Category and press the [Create New Category] button.. Then, type a name for your category and click on the [Save] button. You can also enter a memo for your category.

(Technical notes: User Categories are stored as .txt files, which just contain the list of style names. The User Categories must reside in C:\bb\Data\StylePicker\User Categories folder. You can re-arrange this folder, by creating subfolders and moving the categories around to organize them. Remember to press the [Refresh] button if you do this. )

User Categories are analogous to playlists in a song player. You can create/edit them and choose to display only the styles from the category or all styles with the category styles highlighted with a * asterisk.

So, are there any pictures or instructional videos? Thank you

Thank you for the picture display. May I ask if this will cause the music style to disappear from the default directory?
For example, when I used to be in Xtra14, now it's placed in the RAP directory I created myself, and Xtra14 disappears?

In other words, the multiriff dialog box is not floating yet.

Is there a better way to generate new fragment melodies in BIAB2024?

No, you aren't moving the style file itself, just creating a category that is a convenient way to have a list of styles you use frequently.

Is this normal? Do I need to save my own directory every time I update a version?

It should be in C:\bb\Data\StylePicker\User Categories

Yes. The TXT file is still here. But the pattern inside is gone. I'll try again.

Or I'll save it for myself before I update it later.

Thank you again
