Hi Bill,
I asked a similar sort of question recently.
I was putting together some user styles to share, and was wondering if I should put chord progressions in the intro's ( trying to make them sound a bit flashier) or create them so that users could play their own.
Majority feedback was to let users play their own progressions for the intro's.

I luv listening to the precanned intro's and endings, (they used to fool me into upgrading my keyboards, get it home and you realize the styles themselves haven't really changed, just some new intro/endings). In reality they're not always useful. After all how many songs can you use the same precanned intro for? Quite often they don't really suit the song you want to play.
Fortunately with my PA800, the type of intro you use isn't set. Default is Intro1, flashy , precanned with chord progression.
Intro 2, play your own chord progression.
Intro 3 , Count in.
I usually keep intro 2 & 3 intact, but if I can find a song specific midifile, for the song I want to play, I replace Intro 1 with the midifile intro & save as user style.

Endings if they ramble on forever, I cut out some of the first few bars to shorten it, or again use midifile if possible.

best wishes
Rikki
