• The Metronome cannot be

Song mode.
The tempo setting of some
commercially available songs
is fixed. These songs are
called "free-tempo software."
When playing back free-
tempo song data on the
PSR-740/640, the Tempo
display shows "- - -" and the
beat display does not flash.
Also, the measure number in
the display does not match
the actual measure number
of playback, and only gives
you an indication of how
much of the song has played
back.
