second by the Layer voice.

played by the Main voice, and the added harmony note will be played by the Layer voice.

Harmony notes (based on the chord
and the selected type) are automatically
added to the melody played to the right
of the split point.
• Occasionally some flashing parallel
lines may appear in the television or
video monitor. This does not necessarily
indicate that the monitor is malfunction-
ing. You may be able to remedy the situ-
ation by changing the Character Color
or Background Color parameters. For
optimum results, also try adjusting the
color settings on the monitor itself.
• Avoid looking at the television or video
monitor for prolonged periods of time
since doing so could damage your eye-
sight. Take frequent breaks and focus
your eyes on distant objects to avoid
eyestrain.
• Keep in mind that even after adjusting
all settings as recommended here, the
monitor you are using may not show the
Clavinova's display contents as
expected (e.g., the display contents may
not fit on the screen, the characters may
not be completely clear, or the colors
may be incorrect).
