I use the chord name and the .D to play only 2 bars of drums on an 8 bar intro. Cue the bass .DB at bar 3, the guitar at 6 .DBG and just the chord on the 8th bar. Adds some interest. I also move it around, bass first, whatever. I know I can do it with f5 too, but I like the other way because I can see what's coming on the chart.
