and renumbered.
Performance File Title
• You can change the type of characters on screen using
the "CharacterCode" (page 55) parameter in the "SONG
FILE" menu.
(The selected LCD character type will be used to display
song files and performance files.)

name with an extension ".PER" will appear.
If the currently-displayed file name uses a character type
that is different than the character type used when you cre-
ated the file, you may be unable to access the file.
