I don't know how to use the melody thingy (HAHAHAHA) but you could just do about 4 notes in a chord, 2 that are low on the piano and 2 that are high...say you're using G major scale in your song...you could have 4 G's...
Then you would play them at different times, staring on the lowest G, and do them REALLY close together...
Just an idea - I use it all the time...sorry if that was really confusing!
I am new so I don't know how to use the "add melody" button, but I'll give you a few suggestions. If you want dark, I usually use the chords Dm, Bm, Am, Em, A5, F#m7, and the downward Em scale with a E-G-E at the end.
If you want pop, I usually use the chords G, D, A7, B7, C and a C major arpeggio up to the highest note.
If you want romantic, I usually play some sort of E, A, B, and an E chord arpeggio both up all the way and down all the way.
By the way, the first and second suggestions are usually in 4/4 time and the third is usually in either 6/8, 3/4, 3/8, or a really slow 2/4 time.
If this is confusing, let me know.

Under the first "A" would be a C sharp, and another "A".
Under the second "A" would be the same thing, only an octave higher, and under the "D" would be an "A" an "F" and another "D". I hope this makes sense!

Of course, my trick for intensity is always doubling up on octaves. It amplifies the sound and feel of any of my music.

The quick introduction of each note (preferably doubled up in octaves, or with good notes in between), then a closing note that is held gives a good ending to any intense piece.
