2. Naming a song

Songs on the D1600mkII have a song number and a song
name.
The song number is a number in the range of 001–100,
assigned in the order in which each song was created.
You can freely specify a song name of up to sixteen
characters.
A newly created song will have a name of "NEW-
SONG." We recommend that you assign a different
name so that you will be able to distinguish it from
other songs.
1. Press the [SONG/CD] key to access the "SelSong"
tab page.
2. Press the "Rename" button.
The "RenameSong" dialog box will appear.
3. Modify the song name.
Use the " " " " buttons to move the cursor in the
song name to the character that you wish to change,
and rotate the [VALUE] dial to modify the name.
The buttons in the LCD screen have the following
function.
"0...9": Select numerals (e.g., "0").
"A../a..": Select alphabetical characters (e.g., "A").
Press the button once again to select lowercase alpha-
betical characters (e.g., "a").
"Symbol": Select symbols.
"Insert": Insert a space and move the subsequent
characters backward.
"Space": Select a space (blank).
"Backsp": Delete the character before the cursor loca-
tion.
"Delete": Delete the character at the cursor location.
"ClearAll": Erase the entire name.
4. Finalize the name.
If you are satisfied with the name you input, press the
"OK" button. To cancel without changing the name,
press the "Cancel" button.
