Playing Along With A Song

Notation Screen

When the power of the HPi-7 is turned on, a notation screen like the following will appear in the
display.
This can display not only the onboard songs, but also the notation for SMF music files or a performance
that you’ve recorded on the HPi-7.

* If you have selected a part that contains no performance data, the notation will not show any notes. To change the
part that is displayed, refer to “Changing the Notation Screen Settings” (p. 47).
* The fingering numbers shown in the screen indicate one possible fingering.
* The fingering numbers can be displayed only when playing some internal song.

Some notes on the notation screen

When you begin song playback, the notation screen will show . While this symbol is displayed,
performance data is being loaded from floppy disk or internal memory. It may take dozens to
read the data. Please wait.
The displayed notation is generated from the music files, and priority is given to making the
display easy to read rather than reproducing a complicated or difficult performance accurately.
For this reason, you may notice differences when compared with commercially available sheet
music. In particular, this is not suitable for display of sophisticated or complex songs that require
detailed notations.
In the notation screen, lyrics or notes may fall outside the display range of the screen, and fail to
be shown.
If you display the notation or change the displayed part during song playback, the song may
sometimes play back from the beginning.
