Instead of laying out a bunch of details - use ChatGPT with this prompt "in pgmusic's BIAB can we not choose a Style and only assign the instrument tracks manually?"

PS, there is actually more to the story of the time styles were first offered. But I would only sound like an old man yelling at the clouds. crazy

As you suggested, I did that and out of all of it, I thought this bit was interesting to post in this discussion:

"Advantages of using no Style:

Full control over instrumentation
Avoid unwanted pushes, shots, or auto-arranger behavior baked into Styles
Build minimal, “harmonic metronome”-type setups
Test combinations of RealTracks without style constraints

Limitations; You won’t get:

Automatic feel (swing/straight) conventions
Automatic styles-based rhythm patterns
Preset bar-settings or shots/pushes"
