Score page
Text files loaded with Standard MIDI Files and
MP3 files
When a “.TXT” file with the same name exists in the same direc-
tory as a Standard MIDI File or MP3 file, it will be loaded with
the “.MID” or “MP3” file, and can be seen in the Lyrics page.
As an example, if the file “MYSONG.TXT” exists in the same
directory as the “MYSONG.MID” or “MYSONG.MP3” file, it is
loaded together with the matching “.MID” or “.MP3” file.
However, unlike ordinary Lyrics, the text will not scroll automat-
ically while the Song is playing back. You must scroll it with the
scrollbar or the VALUE DIAL. As an alternative, you can use an
assignable switch or footswitch, with the Text Page Up or Text
Page Down functions assigned, to scroll (respectively) to the pre-
vious or next text page.
Text files must be formatted with non-proportional fonts (like
Courier, Courier New, Monaco, or any other “monospaced”
font). Up to 24 characters can fit a single line of text when using
the bigger font size, 41 when using the smaller font size (see
“ABC” above).
Note: When a “.TXT” file is loaded with the Song, it overrides any
included Lyrics data.
On-the-fly TXT loading
When a Song does not contain any Lyrics metadata or isn’t
linked to any “.TXT” file, the “No lyrics. Press SHIFT and touch
here to load a TXT file” message appears in the display when you
press the LYRICS button.
The same happens while in Style Play mode.
When this message appears, and you want to load a “.TXT” file,
keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch the center of the dis-
play. A standard file selector will appear, and will let you look for
a “.TXT” file to be loaded.
Hint: You can use the Search function to search a “.TXT” file in the
various storage devices. See the relevant chapter.
Score page
When you are in Song Play mode, and you are playing a Stan-
dard MIDI File, you can open the Score page by pressing the
SCORE button.
To exit from this page, press either the SCORE or the EXIT but-
ton.
Note: Master or Track Transpose do not affect the Score display.
Song title
Name of the Song.
Tempo
Current Tempo of the Song (in BPM, Beats Per Minute).
Staff
The selected track is shown as traditional music notation.
Depending on the content of the track, either notes or chords are
shown. Pa3XLe takes care for you of ‘cleaning-up’ the score, so
that it is always easy to read.
Several automatic operations are carried on to clean-up the
score: Pa3XLe automatically quantizes to 1/16 notes, detects
triplets, avoids note overlaps, correctly notates syncopation, and
draws beams according to the time signature. In addition, spac-
ing and measure length are dynamic, and single, double and end
measure bars are automatically added.
If a KeySign (Key Signature) event is found at position
‘001.01.000’ of the Song’s Master track, the correct key signature
is also shown.
