Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 71
The first 24 styles that we made were built-in to the program, and are still
referred to as “Built-in Styles.” These styles are no longer built-in to the
program, making them editable like all other Band-in-a-Box styles.
The built-in styles may be selected from the S pull down menu. They are a
convenient way to quickly apply a basic style to a song.
User Styles
The other styles that we make are called user styles because they are editable.
The user styles may be selected,
- by clicking on the [Style] button, or
- from the Sty pull down menu, or
- by selecting Load Style from Disk… from the User menu, or
- by pressing
+u.
Holding down control or option while clicking on the style load button will
restrict the files to (A-K) or (L-Z). These instructions are given in a message if
an overflow of too many files has occurred. This works wherever you load in
styles with a File | Open type of dialog. (The StylePicker can always show
more than 685 files, so it isn't an issue there.)
Styles can also be selected by mouse clicking directly on the name of the style in
the Title window. The Choose a Style dialog box will appear.
Choose a “Built-In” style or click on the [User Song+Style] button to choose
from the file dialog.
