I'd like to have a style that is suited for cafés or coffee shops. It should have light acoustic guitar, pop jazz baby grand or upright piano, acoustic or upright bass, and some simple light percussion with hand claps, snaps, cajon, tambourine, shaker, and wind chime. All the pitched instruments should allow the user to have specified inversions of the chords, if not have the option for both open string/root position, and bare/second inversion.

I get this. Most styles are a bit "heavy" handed. Sounds like a band that had too much coffee.
In MIDI it is easy.
For myself, I began by editing all styles I used, lowering the velocity of the bass and drums, changing the bass instrument to Upright Bass and all drums to Brush drums (all of that inside the style) and disabling piano and guitar and strings and all the rest... Later on, I began making my own styles, not being satisfied with what was already on offer, even after tweaking.
Styles with other percussive instruments are sparse, but there is an Oregon style that will cater to these needs. Would indeed be a great idea to have styles with modern percussion.
BTW, your question about chord inversions and open strings and all. The style maker doesn't allow you to specify all of this. That would be a very complicated algorithm altogether. And I am pretty sure Realtracks won't allow those options either.
Maybe this could work for you: lower the velocity of the accompaniment tracks like piano, guitar. Making it more discreet will open up room for your playing and singing, sax or trumpet. If you find other solutions, let me know, would be great.
Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums. Check out these great contemporary Jazz Styles: www.jazzstylezz.com

That wasn't the point. They point was to have a style dedicated to light pop music like some off John Mayers stuff or Jack Johnson.

I don't see this style having a MIDI option as I can already create with type of style using EZdrummer 2 percussion pack and use the MIDI beats that come with it or record my own MIDI with it.

A-I don't have EZDrummer 2 B-What about the other instruments? "It should have light acoustic guitar, pop jazz baby grand or upright piano, acoustic or upright bass, and some simple light percussion with hand claps, snaps, cajon, tambourine, shaker, and wind chime." Yes I could create a song myself in the genre but having a MIDI style would be very helpful, just as helpful as all of the other MIDI styles, even those notated RTs. YMMV

Ok, I see your point. A MIDI would be great as well.

This, x1,000,000.
Angus and Julia Stone
Iron & Wine
Thea
Lizzy McAlpine
Gracie Abrams
the list is endless. There are some decent styles that can sort of do it, but oftentimes the instrumentation isn't right. We need more Wurly pianos, Rhodes pianos, GENTLE grand piano, GENTLE upright piano, that kind of stuff.
Please, please, much more of this.

There is a lot of cool stuff but I agree so much of the existing RTs are so busy and after you get three or four they sound like an all star band on a TV special to much. Simple relaxed not over played. Example, a simple guitar where the play strums a chord, then picks a couple notes and repeats. A piano that is somewhere between a held chord and a boogie jam.
As mentioned elsewhere simple coffee shop singer song writer styles and RTs with midi

Flexibility with options has always been a strong point with BiaB styles. More 'light' styles would be a worthwhile addition.
