Change Style Mid-Song

Post by Douglas Bryant »

How can the style be changed in the middle of a song?

I have tried the "F5 key" method, but all that plays after the change is the drums.

Is there some simple thing I am overlooking? (fairly new to this stuff)

You can either click the song settings button, then go to bar settings, or just go to the bar where you want to make the change,right click on that bar, and choose style change. The options in that window should allow you to fix your problem.

Thanks for your response Harry.

Unfortunately, clicking the song settings button, right clicking on the current bar, OR the original method - pressing the F5 key - all bring up the same window ("Edit Settings for Current Bar").
The problem still persists.

I think the program running on my computer might be a little buggy.

Yes, and on the right side of that window you should see "style changes at this bar." When you click on the box ".sty" it will open the style window and let you choose a different style that will begin at that bar. You can make changes at any bar by selecting bar settings. You can change tempo, volume, mute, etc. as many times as you want in a song. I often choose to mute certain instruments when I want what I'm playing to stand out for a bar or two.
