I've just watched a video about using the DAW Plugin with Reaper. After adding chords in the plugin I'm selecting the style I want but it doesn't appear and so the tracks cannot be generated. The small green squares don't show up besides the tracks.
I just installed BiB 2023. Is there some setup I'm missing?
It'll be best if you can say which version you have of BiaB (Pro, Mega, Ultra, etc.) and which style you're trying to use.
Sometimes things are hidden in the stylepicker because there's a filter set that one hasn't noticed. Click the [Clear] in the top-centre first before searching. I'm presuming you have rebuilt the styles database, as BiaB asks for that when needed, but if not, there's a [Rebuild] button bottom centre.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.
I'm using BiaB Version 2023 (1004) Version 2023 (1004), 64 bit application DAW plugin version is 2023 5.0.2.
I can't find any clear button in the plugin. However, I can see all the styles and I've randomly tried several of them but nothing shows up in the track list in the plugin. The styles database is rebuilt and works as normal in BiaB.
The [Clear] and [Rebuild] buttons are both in the StylePicker, highlighted in the image. I've also highlighted a place where a RealTrack is shown as not available. Not available usually means either you haven't purchased them, or you have yet to install them. IIRC you N/A can also appear against the styles themselves, for the same reasons, but I couldn't see any on my setup.
The list of styles and tracks you will have usually depends upon whether you have ProPAK, MegaPAK, UltraPAK, Audiophile, etc., hence that part of my question.
FWIW, I was surprised to see the NAs in the track box, but I'd recently installed some 2023 packs and hadn't done the [Rebuild]. After doing so, the tracks are no longer NA for me.

No progress here. I've done the "clear" and "rebuild". The styles I've been trying are: _CROONRI, _BLUEGRS and _MONDAY. They all work fine in BiaB but not in the DAW plugin.
In addition to my previous comment I'm using Band-in-a-Box UltraPAK Upgrade 2023 for Windows (Upgrade from 2021 or earlier or crossgrade) which I installed as an upgrade from my previous installations Band-in-a-Box 2014 UltraPlusPAK with RealBand and Band-in-a-Box 2020 MegaPAK Upgrade with RealBand.

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.

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."
