About question #2, would it work for you if you played just drums under the beginning of the song vocal? If so, put the chords in but end each one with this, minus the quotes: ".d" for example, Am.d

A similar technique works with any combination of the instruments. Look up Pushes, Shots and Holds in the Help.

If you had something else in mind, give us more detail.
