This instrument is capable of display the scores of songs.
Scores are displayed for the 30 internal preset songs as well as songs stored in SmartMedia or flash memory.
And although user songs you record yourself cannot display a score as is, they can be converted to SMF (Standard
MIDI File) format and stored to SmartMedia memory, from where they can be played with score display.
Select a song.
Follow steps 1 and 2 of the procedure described on page 35.
Press the [SCORE] button and a single-staff score will appear.
There are two types of score display: single-staff and double-staff. These are
alternately selected each time the [SCORE] button is pressed.
Press the [START/STOP] button.
The song will begin playing. The triangular will move across the top of the score
to indicate the current location.
