The name of the current style appears under the name of the song in the Title window. It is also displayed under
User | Current Style and information on the current style can be viewed by selecting Style Information… from the
User menu.
The favorite styles button [F] activates a window that keeps a list of the 150 styles you have
used most recently. The [F] button launches the Favorites / Recently Played dialog. (User
| Load Favorite Styles... also opens this window.)
The “Favorites” and “Recently Played” Radio buttons toggle between a list of your recently played styles and your
Favorite songs styles. This lets you quickly load in styles that have been used your last few sessions with Band-in-
a-Box.
The favorites list will start off as an empty one, but you can add songs/styles as your
favorites by clicking the [Add Favorite] button. (This button is also found in the StylePicker.)
Check the “Play When Chosen” checkbox to have Band-in-a-Box play your song
immediately upon selecting a style.
When “OK to add recent files” is checked, Band-in-a-Box automatically
adds styles to the list.
Use the [Search] button to save time scrolling up and down the list.
