Start by making separate sequences for each point of the song you want; intro, verse, chorus, outro. Then go to song mode and set each step for how manys reps to want. So say each sequence is 4 bars. And say you want an 8 bar intro, 3 16-bar verses, 3 8-bar hooks, and an outro. Go to song mode and set step 1 to your intro sequence and select 2 reps. Then set step 2 to the verse sequence and select 4 reps. Step 3 is the hook with 2 reps. Then step 4 is the 2nd verse with 4 reps. Step 5 is hook with 2 reps. Step 6 is the 3rd verse with 4 reps. Step 7 is you final hook with 2 reps. Then step 8 is your outro. Then hit convert and set the song to an empty sequence.

As an alternative to using separate sequence for each section, you could just learn how to work the track mutes if there are only minor changes to the different parts. And of course, this is all in the manual. Anyway, Good luck!
