Although you can use styles from anywhere by using the menu command and changing the folder, the style picker window (STY button) will not find them unless they are in the root directory. 2. To incorporate new styles into Band-in-a-Box, edit the bbw.lst,There is a new way to organize styles in version 9.0c or higher of Band-in-a-Box. You can use .ls3 files. The ls3 files are text files and they allow the extra information like tempo, swing or even, to be displayed in the STY window. The beauty of the .ls3 file is that when PG Music releases a new disk and therefore replaces the bbw.lst file, the new disk will not erase your extra styles as it will not replace your ls3 file. The bad part is that if you have the version 10 Mega Pack, or all the PG Music styles, PG has exceeded the limit of files allowed in the style picker window already. Neither my styles nor anybody else's will fit. I have informed Peter Gannon and the tech department about this problem and they are working on it. I suspect they will release a 10.* update on their web site someday. Somewhere I have some information about how to build an ls3 file. If there is any interest, let me know and I'll be happy to post it. Bob "Notes" Norton owner, Norton Music norton@nortonmusic.com http://www.nortonmusic.com FREE Midi Files ...
