Style variations for your arrangement are entered in the chordsheet by clicking on a bar
number to set a part marker. Each click toggles to the next available substyle part marker
(a, b, etc.) or removes the part marker. Regular styles have two substyles, and Band-in-a-
Box MultiStyles have four substyle variations – a, b, c, and d.
…
You can add more substyles to an
individual song with a right-click on any
bar number. This opens the Substyle
Change Menu where you can define up
to 24 substyles, from “a” to “x.”
Making a MultiStyle
You can make your own MultiStyles from existing styles in the StyleMaker, which opens
with the menu command User | Make A New Style (StyleLE MAKER).
From within the StyleMaker, press the [PATCH] button. The Misc.
Style Settings dialog box opens. Look for the Multistyles box.
Enter the name of a style: zzjazz, or multiple styles separated by
semicolons: zzjazz;zzbossa and these will appear as MultiStyles, substyles c/d/e/f etc.
You can click on the [Style] button to choose the styles for your MultiStyle from the
StylePicker window.

levels, patches, and harmonies.
