Hi Scott
sorry, setting in Yamaha is "Bypass" not Melody. Melody in Yamaha is a different setting to Melody in Korg.
Just tried something bit bizzare with one of my psr 1500 styles. May or may not work with more sophisticated styles, but did work with mine.
Got my psr style ( bequine.prs ) renamed the .prs extension to .mid. In short turned it into a midifile. Recorded a quick 7 bar song ( supposed to be 8, I can't count ) with chord progression based on vari 1.
Loaded my midifile progression into my sequencer, removed the header bar ( program changes etc) & copied it/or saved it, depending on sequencer.
Loaded bequine style ( midifile) into my sequencer. ( old XG Works program) I deleted all the data beyond the first bar leaving only the header ( ie program changes etc.) Next I removed all the data past the marker for vari 1.
I load ( copied) in chord progression variation . Pressed "SAVE" not "save as"
Went back to where my original Bequine stlye, currently called Bequine.mid is saved use the "ORGANIZE" "UNDO" function, turned it back into Bequine.prs file.
I now have a style, with only my chord progression variation I can use the ASSEMBLY function to copy vari 1 into an original version of the style, change NTT setting & save it as a user style..
First came across this strange anomaly a few years ago, but had forgotten about it, ie the rename function, always aware I could turn earlier psr styles into .mid files, but not that they could be turned back. Probably not perfectly, but maybe good enough for this exercise.
Could also copy the chord progression into a full style, by removing one of the variations, but a bit more complex

It's literally to do with the ntt settings. Intro's have chord progressions, so the ntt setting for ( non drum tracks) is Melody.
