Tom...Yamaha Style Files are in fact Midi Files so the original styles can be viewed and played back in Cakewalk by either changing the style extension from .sty to .mid or you can type in the open bar option of Cakewalk.*.sty and Cakewalk will then load the style.
Once the Sty file is loaded into Cakewalk. all the markers for Intro Var1 Var2 etc etc: can be seen.
The benefit of the styles files being in Midi format is that with most Arranger boards you can load style parts from sequence into style edit......Its easier to do than explain, but the benifit of this is you can listen to the style before deciding that it is worth converting or using.
Unfortunately Yamaha Styles being mostly 2 bar loops they are very repetitive.
