<< Yes, but by setting your choruses to 1, you'll never have the variation that occurs in the second chorus. I've even confirmed that, in a song with two choruses, the second chorus variation doesn't occur. A song needs a minimum of three choruses in order for the second chorus variation to occur. That's because the program is set up to provide the variation in a middle chorus. Inserting different styles and Part B's just skirts around the issue. It may work brilliantly constructing a piece of music this way, but it doesn't change that simple fact. >> << But often in a second chorus, it's not just drum fills, it's the way various instruments are played. For example, in Chorus one, a piano part might be laying out mostly, hitting the occasional chord, where in the Second Chorus, the arrangement is much fuller. Or, another example, you'll often see an instrument that lays out entirely in Chorus one, but which comes to life in Chorus two. I don't think part markers would make a difference with something like this. >>

I've confirmed this as well in the past.

<< I have yet to compose a piece of music that has more than 200 measures, much less 255. So this isn't something that I'd be worried about just yet. >>

Considering the 255 limit, if your project can be completed using less than 84 measures, you can repeat it 3 times and remain below the limit and then use that pleasing 2nd Chorus as your song. 84 X 3 = 252
