I was making a demo video with RealTrack edits so I dragged just a few random picked Ev 120 Drums and RealTracks tracks in and it had a great sound. If it don't sound good then you could click on the track that don't fit and randomly insert another.
That is how I do it, I try not to aim for something specific, just explore and see what feels good at the time. I do not care if one part is Country and another is Hard Rock. If it works, it works. I guess, in one way it is a "lazy man" feature, on other hand it might create unexpected and wonderful results.
I'm presuming this is a Style 'Creator' that selects tracks randomly and creates the style. If so, that is quite different from a random style selector mentioned in the other post.

I can read the RealTracks list from txt file and filter Ev 120 but then there's no menu access to the Tracks as there is no Tracks menu so it can only be done with a mouse click, then you can't enter the random RT number in the RealTrack Picker like you can in the Melody Picker. So I can't script it otherwise it would be done by now and uploaded as an add-on script feature.

True, but not so different. And the motives for automating / randomizing might be similar.
You could think of random style selector as random track assembler filtered by "all tracks are from the same style".
I can imagine a UI where a checkbox controls whether you're randomizing your "working style" track by track, or all at once.
You might want to rando the whole style at first, for a starting point, then certain tracks within. I can actually imagine wanting to do this.

I agree with Mark. If there is such a tool, why not letting the user decide how experimental he wants to be. So +1 for the combined suggestion from Pipeline & Mark
BiaB Pro 2022; Windows 10 Bass: Intermediate; Piano: Beginner I came to this forum in order to suggest feature improvements for non-professional musicians like myself that use BiaB mainly as a playalong tool and as a learning tool
I can get the Random Style working fine as I can access the Style Picker, but it needs the Track menus and the same search option in the RealTracks/Drums Pickers, if they get around to those it will all come together.
Reaper tends to make things so easy it's not funny. See if you guys want something added you can just ask in the Reaper scripts forum and it's usually made without wishing for years, that's why I was trying to get a Scripts menu for BB but they have been working on Mac for the last 6 months so I suppose there's not much time for wish fulfillment. I was going to make up this with an AutoHotkey script but when I was making the Biab Track Injection I just put it in there to try it as it works the same as using an AutoHotkey GUI. It does work good to save you going through thousands of tracks, a lot of good things come by "accident". Random Style creation:

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
