14.2. Creating a Hymn MIDI file
To create a hymn file

2. Record an introduction (intro.).
3. Select the main Menu screen.
4.
Select the Rename file mode.
5.
Rename the recording of the intro such, that it begins with an I_ (I stands for Intro). Example: I_SONG1.
6.
Rename the recording of the verse such, that it begins with a V_ (V stands for Verse). The text must be
the same as the text of the intro. Example: V_SONG1.
Note that steps 4 to 6 can be carried out on a computer as already described. The sequencer uses the old
DOS 8.3 naming convention of 8 characters followed by the .MID suffix. If a filename of more that eight
characters is created on a computer only the first six characters of the file name will be displayed followed
by the ~ character and a number to make the filename unique.
