The purpose of the program is to take a simple song and enter the chords and have the ability for the software to generate the backing tracks. This means you play melody.

Or if you go to some site that has a lot songs you can grab, like google "Allanah Band in a Box", and grab some songs, say the A folder. Now some will have melodies. You could embellish them.

The you chose various styles and audition them, so you can have a rock band or jazz band, or whatever. You need to ensure your style is in the right genre more or less, and the right 'feel', ie swing or waltz etc. Then you get parts generated for you.

If you are a bass player you could decide you really like what you got, and freeze the track and it would always be the same, letting you print it out.

As I play melody on keys or horn, I sometimes use someone else's version of a solo, along with the actual melody.

I'd suggest starting with a genre, and entering the first few chords and notes from Row Row Row yer boat..and go from there....
