I don't know how I lost track of it, but I remember that there was a jingle bells-like Xmas style available. She place I can redownload it from?

There are many, but the XPro1 Pak has the style Joyeux which might work.
Have a look in your account for all of the products you have purchased. There might be something there that gives you a reminder.

Hey, Mike.
Spent a few minutes in the StylePicker but couldn't find anything in the word filter (on the upper left) related to the holiday by typing Christmas, Xmas, holidays, jingle, etc.
Spent a few more minutes in the Song Title section of the StylePicker (on the upper right) and there are LOTS of suggestions there based on the song (and version of the song) you are thinking of.
For example, "Jingle Bells" will give you the very fast 250 BPM Bing Crosby jazz version, which may or may not be what you have in mind.
As I think about it, most of MY thoughts on Christmas music styles are based on classic versions of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Stuff you hear in old movies, at the mall or at the Christmas tree lot. A lot of Bing, but a lot of Burl Ives, too. Quite a bit of jazz. Even Charlie Brown's Christmas. My favorite Christmas album is by The Roches; weird but wonderful.
So...it depends.
My suggestion is to use the Song Title filter for the song that resonates closest to what you're looking for and go from there.
Am sure you'll get better suggestions.
Ho! Ho! Ho!

Yep, the O/P needs to give us a little more direction. Was the Style fast-paced, laid-back, 3/4 or 4/4 (4/4 is the most common, but there are waltz / 6/8 versions as well).
Tell us more about what you remember the style delivered. There's no 'perfect match' in the Style Picker.

Hmmm. Not sure. It was years ago, so must have been MIDI. I'm quite sure it was 4/4. I remember it having sleighbells as quarter notes.
I tried song names in the style picker, but only found swing styles and big band crooner styles for Bing Crosby-like styles, but not xmas-specific styles.
I vaguely remember possibly having to import this style into BIAB, maybe it had been discontinued or maybe never offered by PGMusic in the first place?

Funkifized:
I believe the style you may be looking for is called
XMAS_P.STY
That's the one I have that contains the jingle bell sound.
Not sure where it originated but like you, I've had it for many years.
If you do a search and can't come up with it, pm me with your email address and I'll send it to you.
Good luck!

There's also this thread that lists Christmas songs and appropriate styles, including a few with the XMAS_P style discussed above.

I don't have XMAS_.STY on my laptop. Am I missing styles that I should have? Is that style listed at PG Music anywhere?

Does everyone else have XMAS_P.STY in BIAB? I had id it a while back, but I don't see it anymore. I'm concerned that I didn't have ask of the styles that I paid for. StylePicker shows 7,785 items. Does that sound right?

I have almost 12,000 styles in StylePicker but no XMAS_P.STY. Did a Google search and only turned up the thread I linked three up from this one. Also searched Norton's site. His Christmas RealBook collection does not indicate a XMAS_P.STY. The search continues...

Hello,
I do not recall ever having an XMAS or XMAS_P style. I dug back a bit and could not find anything. I wonder if this was a 3rd party style...?
Thank you,
Catherine

AudioTrack, the Set # column in your graphic indicates XMAS_P is a "User" style, which makes me think Catherine is on to something...

To summarize, THE XMAS_P.STY USER STYLE IS AT THIS LINK POSTED BY DRDANMight be appropriate to mark this thread "Resolved" if this in fact works...

So I’m laying in my sauna. It’s 142° and I’m reading through the form and I come upon this thread and as I read it I’m thinking I know what they were looking for. We had a search for that years ago. I’m sure I have it. And then I read the last line and lo and behold that’s me I have that style. I assume I posted it where it says and that you folks all have the style now I seem to remember it was pretty good.

I have it also and it is marked as a USER style and if I try to load an associated demo song, it cannot be found. Probably a user made style I downloaded from one of the non-PGMusic websites in the past.

Copy the xmas_P.sty into C:/bb/styles. Then do a "slow rebuild" to incorporated as a 3rd party/user style. Only then will you be able to see it in BIAB style picker.

The XMAS_P.STY was done many years ago by someone with BIAB but not PGMusic.
It usually surfaces about this time of year.
I always have to do a search for mine as it never seems to end up in the C:\bb\STYLES folder.
YMMV
