I use the same technique as Noel. If I have recorded a vocal track, I will use the "custom" soloist to even fill short bar lengths between the vocal vocal lines. It's a great feature.

You can even hit the "edit" button on the soloist page and go one level deeper and select the range of notes you want the soloist to play - lots of timing features too.
