Here's how I find an appropriate Style to go with a BiaB song:

*Inside the Stylepicker, at the bottom, is a feature, "Play on Doubleclick".

1) First, layout the chords for your song.

2) Check the LOOP box to the right of the songtitle window to True. This will force the song to start over and over again from the beginning when it hits the End.

3) Hit Play. Doesn't matter at this point what the Style file invoked is, just get it playing.

4) Now open the Stylepicker Window. You can use the Search feature, searching for something relevant, like "blue" or perhaps use the filters as well to search for Tempo, or *something* relevant to what you are after.

5) OR -- you can just peruse the ALL list with an eye for any style you think kay work.

6) When you find a filename you want to check out, simply doubleclick on it.

BiaB will change styles and you will hear the song playing back using that style.

Of course, if the style involves Realtracks, there will be a certain short amount of silence time as the Realtracks are generated, then the song will play using that style.

**I open an example of Notepad and keep it minimized in the taskbar. As I audition the styles in the above fashion, I take the time to open that Notepad file and quickly jot down the stylenames of those styles that seem to work with my song. I hardly ever stop with the first one that "works" - I might find several or more that could be used with my song.
