The LP1 can be used to create different song sections.  There is a 
function 
called "cue" which let's you mark a track or group of tracks as ready to 
start playing as soon as any other track stops.  For example, you could 
have 
3 tracks that play your verse and 3 tracks that play your chorus.  You can 
use the the cue function to seamless switch from the the verse to chorus 
and 
back again.  The only limitation is that each of the 8 tracks can only 
hold 
1 part.  If track 1 holds a chorus part, then it can't be used to hold a 
verse part.  If there is an instrument that plays the same part in both 
the 
chorus and the verse, then you can record that to a single track and just 
leave it running.

Basically, the LP1 doesn't enforce song structure.  Functions exist in the 
unit to aid construction of songs.  It is up to you to choose how you will 
use them in the construction of your music.
