Hi Frank,
I got it to work.
I had to renumber the instruments after I copied them across, no big deal
first I copied piano
0=1 piano
then strings
1= 48 strings ( I changed the 1 to 48) etc

I did have to make sure I had all the instruments used within the style. I missed one of the basses and ended up with drums playing on the bass track.

I assume that , that was what you were hinting at earlier, that if an instrument is left out of the font that is used within the style, you could end up with something strange happening.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I can get it to work.

best wishes
Rikki

[B]Hi Frank,
I'll give it a try when I get a chance and let you know how I go.
What I'll try and do is create a font using only 5 or 6 sounds for a particular style,
( and keep to the gm instrument mapping)
ie drums
bass ( program 33)
piano ( program 1 )
guitar( program 25)
strings program 48)etc

and see if they play back correctly.
