eNotation / r Keyboard

These two portions of the display conveniently indi-
cate notes. When a song is being played back, they
show the melody or chord notes in succession. When
you play the keyboard yourself, the display shows the
notes you play.
t Measure
These show the current measure during playback of a
song or style.
yBeat marks
These marks (one large, three small) flash in sequence
and in time with the song or style. The large arrow
indicates the first beat of the measure.
• For a few specific chords, not all notes may be shown in the nota-
tion section of the display. This is due to space limitations in the
display.
