NOTE

•User songs cannot produce score display as they are. If you convert a user song ﬁle to SMF and save it to USB ﬂash memory, however, it becomes capable of producing score display and can be used with the lesson features.

NOTE

•Different ﬂash memory areas are used to store user songs and external song ﬁles transferred from a computer. User songs cannot be directly transferred to the exter- nal song ﬁle ﬂash memory area, and vice versa.
