Using the Intros for break/fill is an old trick...I used to do it on my old PSR-8000.

What really makes it cool is that you could make the fill as many bars as you wanted, and as it's been mentioned, it automatically returns to the last Variation you were on, so it was very nearly hands free.

If you really want to keep a favorite intro, whilst needing the three intros for different fill/break/stops, you can always copy it to one of the endings you don't care for...then start the style using the ending...most auto-accompaniments allow for it.

I also use the intros as extra Variations...I often make them 8 bars long(or as necessary)and program in a suitable variation for a bridge or chorus.

I'm sure there are many different possibilities and tricks other members have discovered with styles.
