Sing along with the “electronic” sheet music!
The instrument has a special feature that shows the music notation of the song in the display.
For songs that contain lyric data, the lyrics are displayed along with the notes—letting you read the music, play and
sing all at the same time.
Notation can be displayed for the internal songs 001 - 100.
When set to treble-staff display (melody only), both the lyrics and chords can be displayed for internal songs 001 - 005.
It’s easy… After selecting the song, press the [SCORE] button.
The notation display shows the melody of the song (treble staff only), along with
both the lyrics and chords, when such data is contained in the file.
To start the song, press the [START/STOP] button, and the cursor moves in the
score as the song plays.
Press the [SCORE ] button again to call up the normal lyrics display
Here, the song is displayed in piano-style notation, with both treble and bass
staves.
To start the song, press the [START/STOP] button, and the cursor moves in the
score as the song plays.
• Depending on the particular song
file, it may take a while for the
notation to appear after the
[SCORE] button is pressed. (A
“Please wait” message appears in
the display.)
• You can also display notation for
song files downloaded from the
Internet. If the downloaded file
contains chord and lyric data, the
chords and lyrics can also be dis-
played. (For certain songs, lyrics
may not be displayed.)
• Notation cannot be displayed when
one of the User songs (101 - 105) is
selected. However, if the User
song is converted to SMF format
and stored to a SmartMedia card
(page 64), the notation can be dis-
played.

may be omitted in the display. If you want to make sure to be able to see all the
lyrics, use the Karaoke display (press the [KARAOKE] button).
• Pressing the [SCORE] button
switches between the two types of
display.
