there are 3 numbers about the middle of the screen. The starting bar for the repeat or chorus, the ending bar for the same, and the number of repeats. The intro is not included, nor the outro. The outro can be a tag.

As to what is playing at a particular time, no, that's not how things work.

The song, if 3 verses, and no part markers on the chord sheet, will play style subset a then b then a.

There is a built in variation. Some newer stuff has 4 subset styles for variation.

You can add drum fills and force a variation with a part marker, click to the left of the bar on the number and it goes from blue to green and back unless there is more than one subset of the style.

At the beginning of each song you should set the key, check your Time Sig is right, then the first bar after the intro, the ending of the chorus/verse/repeat. Once this is done you are good to enter chords and on from there. If you got the ending bar wrong don't worry you can change it anytime.

You can enter the song starting at bar 1, take it to bar 40, repeat it 4 times, then when done with the chords hit the Intro button and add a 4 bar intro, which will change box 1 there to 5. Then you can mess with the ending. I often change the suggested intro chords, and many times will put in say C.d for just drums for 2 bars, then G.db for both drums and bass. Doing that will give me just drums for 2 bars, and the bass comes in where it says G.db (G in this case means the bass with play a G chord in the previous bars with just drums the chord was meaningless), and then when you hit the first bar of the song whatever chord is there will have all the instruments unless you are going to get fancy and rest the guitar or something.
