That's the Style picker button.

It was a mistake. After clicking, you cannot enter the style.
If you enter stylepicker in other ways, you can't directly aim at the selected style, which is different from the official video in 2019.(Using the StylePicker on youtube) BB VST, and the selected style cannot be aligned

SBM, I’m not sure what you saying. That button allows you to open the style picker and chose a style.

I can pick a style just fine. I don't know what you mean by "you cannot enter a style".

For example, the current style is AAAA
We click to enter the style picker, then AAAA should be selected.
However, it is not selected and needs to find this AAAA again

You can fix this setting to have the current Style that's loaded listed in the StylePicker list in the StylePicker Dialog.

Click the 'Action' Button at the bottom of the screen and click "Set Dialog Options..." and select 'Always'

That menu also permits resetting the tempo when a new style is entered. So many things we just learn to live with, are just a default prefernce away.

However, I can ony assume this is the type of thing you lose with a RTFS.

I tried, but I still couldn't.
This is an official promotional video for 2019
It's normal inside. After entering, the blue seed selection position.
However, it doesn't matter whether this problem is repaired or not. In fact, I've seen someone ask before. VST also has this problem.

I found the cause of the problem. Click no response is an error. Sometimes a player will play demo, and sometimes there is no response. This is a mistake
Next, click to open stylepicker, which is also an error
Waiting for repair

Aye. Unfortunately that also why newbie bug reports often appear as misunderstandings and don't get addressed. On any software, not just BiaB. The workarounds just become the ways experienced users do things.

I used to have a guy who was really good at just shelving his knowledge and thinking "If I were new to this software, how might I expect to do this?".

He also quite often just did "dumb" things, just to see how the software coped with it.

He was very good indeed at uncovering the unexpected behaviours.

Yes, that's how I used to test my students' projects: do the unexpected.

Yes, many of the 'This is a bug!! The world is about to end!!' reports in the forum are issues where someone just needs to be shown how to do something. I wish they would simply ask first. But if it's a genuine bug, especially if it's serious, some of us will make sure the developers see the problem. And you can always send an email to support@pgmusic.com and reference the thread. That's as much as we users can do, but it's a lot more effective here than for any other software I use. Of course, that may not be a fair comparison, since BIAB is a lot more powerful and complex than any other software I use.

In fact, I can find a flexible solution myself.
In the face of mistakes, you can take a detour to find other ways.
I just think you are welcome to find the error report here, which is conducive to the more perfect repair of BIAB.
Yes, BIAB is the best music software I've ever used

Swingbabymix, are you saying when you highlight and select a Style in the StylePicker and return to the Main Page Chord Sheet and hit play, you are wanting to hear the demo for that Style you selected to load and play?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
