n
Some song data for the
Clavinova has been
recorded with special "free
tempo" settings. During play-
back of such song data, the
measure numbers shown in
the display will not corre-
spond to the actual mea-
sure; this only serves as a
reference as to how much of
the song has been played
back.
n
Songs containing a large
amount of data may not be
able to be read properly by
the instrument, and as such
you may not be able to
select them. The maximum
capacity is about 200–
300KB, however this may
differ depending on the data
contents of each song.
Phrase Mark
This data specifies a certain
location in the song data.
Channel
Refers to the MIDI channel
in the song data. The chan-
nels are assigned as shown
below for the CVP-900.
