tks 4 the quick reply - the styles are midi. i went to f5 and played with it some but cant make it do what i want it to do . lets take this senario:
I open my song and start it playing with style 1 and i want to have it switch over to style 2 in the 5th bar of the 2nd chorus and then switch back to style 1 in the 5th bar of the 3rd chorus.
Whenever i playback my "new" song, i can see the red borders around the bar numbers but when it gets to that measure, the style doesn't change - just keeps on playing the style that the song opened with.
1) how do i tell that the first change is to be in the 5th bar of the 2nd chorus.
2) #beats this bar - not sure about this. it defaults to 0, not sure if i'm supposed to edit this.

would app [so very much] a step by step walk thru.
