In addition to the above...

After playing around quite a bit with BIAB 2026, another way of filtering styles that I will be trying in the future is given below.

1) Find a well known song that has a similar feel to the song that I'm writing.
For example: Let's say I've created a song that reminds me of "The Wind Beneath My Wings".

2) Open the Multipicker Library and select the "Titles" tab.
3) Click "Clear Filter" to get the filter ready for my search.
4) Enter wind beneath in the filter.

5) Select one of the options and then click on "Apply - Find matching styles".

This is what was filtered in Stylepicker for me...

BIAB has used the tempo, feel, time signature and category dropdown menus to filter the styles appropriate to the song chosen.

Once suitable styles have been identified, I then go through and listen to demos and/or use the style to play my song's chordsheet. At this stage, I'm not looking for a style that is a 100% perfect fit. If the style basically works, that's fine by me because I nearly always add other instruments to style that are not present in the predefined style.
