NOTE
• The Difference Between MELODY R and MELODY L ...
Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto-accom-
paniment style. Normally "melody" refers to the right-hand
part, but in this instrument "melody" parts are provided for
both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody
part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the mel-
ody part played by the left hand.
