Editing Lyrics
If you press [YES], the display changes to:

Synchronizing the text file

Here's what we're going to do: each line of the text you
imported can be associated with a given quarter note of
the song. We'll do this while the song is playing back.
Synchronizing text lines is a matter of pressing the dial
on the beats where the currently selected line should
appear during normal playback of the song.
Each press of the dial links the text line below the
arrows (® √) to the quarter note where the button
was pressed. The preceding line automatically scrolls
above the (® √) section, while the next line appears
below the arrows.
Note: In this mode, the JM-8 always displays four lines of text.
(1) Press the [REC] button (it lights).
(2) Press the [®÷π] button.
Playback and Lyric synchronization recording start.

(3) On the beat where the first text line should be dis-
played, press the dial.
(4) Repeat this at the quarter note where the second
line should be displayed.
(5) Press the dial on all beats where the subsequent
text lines should appear.
In places where there are no lyrics to synchronize
(e.g. the bridge or the solo), you can press [‰] to
quickly jump to the next measures where you wish to
link a line of text.
(6) Press the [REC] button when all Lyrics data have
been synchronized.
(7) If you made a mistake somewhere, you will have to
resynchronize the entire text.
