The difference might be that I'm using BinaB to create backing tracks and notation for existing well known songs rather than using it for composing new material

Well, I often do the same and that's the method I use.

I don't expect a full-on database that is able to "know" every song out there and tell me what Style to use, though. That alone would be a huge project to implement, I think.

However, I have found all sorts of styles that are NOT listed as to a particular already existing song that I want to duplicate in BiaB that work very well with the song indeed.

Matter of fact, I've learned over the years that this alone can be a large part of the fun and learning that BiaB provides, my cover song folders are full of examples of the same song, often the exact same layout but the differences lie in the Style selected.

But I do not attempt to make BiaB do full on exact covers.

It really isn't the program of choice for that kind of thing IMO. Better to go the route of MIDi sequences or mp3/karaoke type files for the exact "note-for-note" cover tunes IMO.
