Now a Q: i was listening to a few styles, found _THORNS.STY, a BIAB one, and it was marked as 4/4. Memo mentioned was 12/8, and to me sounds like a slow 3/4 waltz. Loaded it in the stylemaker, and tried to set it to 3/4. Didn't seem to work; is there a way to correct this?
Band-in-a-Box uses triplets in 4/4 time to
simulate 12/8 time. If you want to change the song to 3/4 (Waltz) time you need to select a 3/4 style.
The Band-in-a-Box program naturally "understands" 3/4 and 4/4 time; any other time like 2/4, 6/8, etc is a simulation.
RealBand can use any time setting.
