ZeroZero, I'm on a smartphone and not at my computer so I can't provide screenshots and have to broadly answer your question.

Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) allows style auditions using demo songs or using the song project chordsheet. I normally select to use the first twelve bars of the song. I also make sure the twelve bars include both A and B part markers. These choices allow me to audition both style sections using my chords and key signature but don't take long to generate.
