Notes Regarding the Score Display

•When playback of a song begins, appears in the Score screen. While this symbol is displayed, performance data is being loaded from floppy disk or

internal memory. It may take thirty seconds to a minute or more to read the data. Please wait.

•The displayed scores are based on music files. Priority is placed on the readability of the displayed music, not on the accurate rendition of difficult, high-level performances. Thus, there may be discrepancies seen when compared with commercially available printed music. The display is not intended for viewing advanced songs requiring precisely detailed scores, or complex songs.

•On the score display screen, lyrics and notes may extend beyond the range displayed on the screen and may not be visible.

•Playback may start over from the beginning if you display the score or change the displayed part during playback of the song.

■Touching Notes to Confirm the Sounds (Touch the Notes)

In the Score screen, you can have notes played by touching the notes on the screen.

When you touch < > to show the keyboard on the screen, the touched note is indicated by the corresponding note on the keyboard. This allows you confirm notes by sight, sound, and touch.

In addition, when you trace part of the score with your finger, the traced segment is played back. This allows you to easily play back phrases you like.

NOTE

No notes are shown in the score if the selected part contains no data. To change the part being displayed, refer to “Making Detailed Settings for the Score Display” (p. 90).

You can operate the keys on instruments featuring the Moving key function (p. 168).
