Style of song - more styles in the song edi than in the song player.

[elasticmedia]

For bluegrass, there is a pop - bluegrass option at the bottom of the player window. It is a bit cheesy - not the greatest sounding bluegrass option, but I suppose it will have to suffice until something better comes along. On the other hand, there are additional options in the editor: bluegrass, new grass, old-time - just to name a few.

Why are all the styles in the editor not available in the player? And if one style is set in the edited song but the player has a different style, who wins the fight? It seems that the listed style overrides the saved style. I don't know how to set a default style, because it appears to default to jazz medium swing.

thanks

The styles available in the PLAYER feature are the only options the player can use (for now). The development team have plans for more.

The style designated for each tune by the chart poster is just a suggestion and only a label. You are free to call your chosen style for each tune that you post or edit anything you'd like. Just because you label a tune as "Dog-Rock" or "Newish-Grass" or "Whoop" or whatever doesn't mean that those styles are coded in the PLAYER feature (yet).

Remember, the PLAYER feature was originally included in the app as a PRACTICE tool and was never designed to be live-performance midi-tracks. That some are actually using the PLAYER in performance, shows what a great job the development team has done.
