I think that what Scott suggests is a good method. Thanks for sharing this, Scott.
If one has an extensive repertoire and wants to react quickly to requests, this seems the best option.

However, if you make many changes in the styles (like different instruments ao) - and unfortunately some things are only saved in the style - you need all the userstyles at hand. With an extensive repertoire you need room for that.
Of course Tyros has a harddisk, but as Scott says the styles on the harddrive can not be utilized in the MF - it is understandable if you talk floppydrives, but with a harddrive it should be possible. Maybe a software change could correct that.

I am still exploring the keyboard and I am still not really certain what is saved where, but I think in some cases the registration is necessary to save a few settings. I think that's why Scott uses an R to remind him of that. But which registrationbank? It would be nice to have a certain registration bank attached to a song in the Music Finder.

In two cases I really need the registration. It's because of the Bossa Nova style.
First of all I can only play Bflat6 if I change the splitpoint to G2 (instead of F#2) - or else you get a Gm7, which is something entirely different.
Secondly, the piano (chord2) gives me problems with some chord changes. So I set the Piano channel off (chord 2).
Both are only saved in registrations.

Of course I can loose the Piano (or edit it)by editing the style and save it as a userstyle. But as far as my knowledge goes the splitpoint can only be saved in the registration.

Some things can not be saved at all, like OTS link and Auto Fill In.

(The problem with the piano is the chord change from Fmaj7 to F#7-5 or from Gm7 to F#7-5 - the piano plays a F# that is not desirable.)
