Hi Aurealius.

My goodness this thread has become immense! Honestly, I don't think that you've made a mistake. I've thought about your post a few times and I've also done a bit of homework. The green 'audition/preview' button was introduced in BIAB 2024. I'm was a beta tester for BIAB 2024, and I'm reasonably sure that I tested this feature at the time of its release.

My recall is that, just as you describe, the green arrow allowed the selected style to be played using the chord symbols on the chordsheet. Then when I closed down stylepicker, the original style that I used on the chordsheet wasn't overwritten with the new style. Unfortunately, I cannot be 100% certain about this because 2024 is a couple of years ago now and, as a result, my recall may be faulty.

For me, what is happening now when I use the green arrow is that it does not generate and play the highlighted style. It only plays the chordsheet with the original style that is loaded and already generated. In other words, having this green arrow seems pointless. That is why passed on a link for this thread to the development team.

Sooner or later, we will know exactly how this icon should work smile
