• The Metronome cannot be
turned on when free-tempo
song data is selected in the
Song mode.
The tempo setting of some
commercially available songs
is fixed. These songs are
called "free-tempo software."
When playing back free-
tempo song data on the
PSR-540, the Tempo display
shows "- - -" and the beat
display does not flash. Also,
the measure number in the
display does not match the
actual measure number of
playback, and only gives you
an indication of how much of
the song has played back.
