Play a Style With Chords but No Rhythm (Stop Accompaniment)

When auto accompaniment is on (the ACMP icon is showing) and Synchro Start is off (the [START/STOP] button is
not flashing), you can play chords in the left-hand accompaniment range of the keyboard while the style is stopped
and still hear the accompaniment chords. This is "Stop Accompaniment," and any of the chord fingerings recognized
by the instrument can be used (page 61). The chord root and type will be shown on the display. You can also use the
Harmony effects with Stop Accompaniment.
