What I do when I need an intro and don't have one is to use the melodist and/or soloist to create one. I just select the first 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever bars, and either enter my own chord progression or let the melodist create one for me (after setting the key, obviously). Once created, I can add harmonies to it, whatever. Sometimes I'll create one on the melodist track, move it to the soloist track, then create another one on the melodist track. I usually have to do that several times to find something that works together, but you can usually find something that works. I may have to tweak some of the notes, but I definitely get a unique intro each time. I then set the chorus to begin the bar after the intro.

Or I use the create intro command and then use melodist to give me something. Or I might use a part of the song (the refrain) and have the soloist follow

Melodist set 2 includes country; 3 is bluegrass; 5 is bluegrass.
Soloist set 5 is bluegrass, set 9 has country piano.

Alternately, I will sometimes capture an intro out of a MIDI file I downloaded from the web.

Or, I'll just roll my own.

But lots of options. Same concept applies to endings, bridges, etc.
