When I work a new song, especially with melody, I use repeats. It is easier and faster to do "global" changes, like a chord or a note of the melody gets changed in all repeats.

For the final finish I unfold into one chorus, change the chords a little from chorus to chorus, add an intro and an ending -- and then I transfer that into RealBand.
