The "dot d" means, "Rest all instruments *except* drums".

I checked your file and it does indeed do that.

Rightclick on one of those chords and select Chord Settings to view the thing in full scope.

BTW -- "All" instruments in this case means all auto-accompaniment intruments. The bass is on the Melody track and the horns are on the Soloist track for the Intro section. Those two tracks are not auto-accompaniment tracks, so they play.
