Diki,
If you listen to the music and styles I have created on my website, you'll get an idea of what I'm trying to do. I don't want my music to sound like it was done with an arranger; I want it to sound as live as possible.
The idea was to make very long variations with a real drummer that would give a very real live sound to the music. Of course you would have to make sure never to make a mistake -- but the most I ever mistake is a note - not a full beat and deffinitely not a measure!
The truth is that I've already made quite a few styles with 16 measures, and I think this is what I'm going to aim for.
