Reversing style names?

[Dave Nuttall]

Over time there have been "thousands" of styles posted here on PSR-Tutorial which have been renamed for a particular song.  (See the GIG Lists, for example).

Does anyone know HOW to determine what the original style name was?

I've been wondering about this "for years"! 

TIA.

Dave:

If it is a factory style and all the user has done is rename it's filename, then it can be displayed in MixMaster(open syyle (drag file to the on screen icon), then depress List View. An event like this should be close to the top of the listing:

001:1:0000      Song Track Name=Acoustic8BtBld.T160.prs

hello Dave,
Inside every style file, there's "internal" style name. That's the name that was used when style was created/saved.
To see that info (among others), you can use M.Bedesem's StyleDump tool: https://psrtutorial.com/MB/styledump.html
Open style with StyleDump and at the beginning there will be StyleName shown. Unless someone intentionally modified that info, that will be "original" style name.

Hi

Are you referring to
1) the style file name as listed in Windows Explorer
or
2) the internal Yamaha style name?

The following is if 1)

Not exactly what you are asking for

This software has several search algorithms - read the Help file - and will list file duplicates!

There is no information in a style file about the current file name or previous file names.

Thanks, Michael.
I know that in addition to the Song Track Name event, when you record a song with a factory style, there is OFTEN at least one SY*** event with a long hex and ASCII text description.
In many/most of the styles distributed as "gig disks", the Song Track Name "event" has been altered to correspond with what shows up in the Windows File Explorer view.

Thanks, Bogdan.
Michael's MixMaster also shows the StyleName.  Unfortunately, the good folks who have assembled their gig disks didn't see fit to leave the original style name untouched which is the reason for my question.

Thanks,  Jørgen.
My question is about the internal style name and the pointer to your dupes program prompted me to try Peter's PSR Style Database which DOES show the internal style name.   There may be more cases where no change has been made to the internal style name and that is plainly seen with "PSR-SDB"!

SO...this ANSWERS my question!

Thanks to all three of you (Michael, Bogdan and of course, you Jørgen)

I use a prg. to do the job
Midi-style-rename You can find it on the internet
All  styles and midi-files in a dir are changed to the orig intern style or midi-file name
It makes copy's so you keep the old styles
