ody voice will be displayed.
NOTE
• The Difference Between MEL-
ODY R and MELODY L ...
Songs are a combination of a
melody and an auto-accompani-
ment 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 melody part played by the
left hand.
