Playing Style (Accompaniment) Chords
Looking Up Chords Using the Dictionary
If you know a chord name but aren’t sure how to finger the chord on the keyboard,
you can look it up using the “dictionary” function.
1Press the [Dict.] button.
2For this example lets look up the fingering for GM7. Find the keys
(labeled beneath the keyboard) and press the G key (no sound will be pro-
duced). The root G will appear in the display.
3Find the keys (labeled beneath the keyboard) and press the M7
key (no sound will be produced). The fingering for the specified chord — root
+ chord type — will appear on both the score and the graphic keyboard in the
display.
Referring to the display, try fingering the chord on the keyboard. If you play the
chord correctly the chord name in the display will flash.

•Major chords are usually indi-
cated by the root name only.
For example “C” on a score
refers to a “C Major” chord. To
look up the fingering for a major
chord press the root key and
then the M chord type key.
