Displaying Text - Yamaha Tyros2 Owner's Manual

Displaying Text

This feature lets you show text files (created on a computer) in the display of the Tyros2, opening up a number of
useful possibilities:
• You can input and show the lyrics, even if the song does not contain lyrics data.
• You can show any kind of text—not only lyrics, but also lyrics with chord names, notes or tips.
• Connect an external monitor to the Tyros2 and you can have the text displayed on the monitor as can be
done in the Lyrics display.
Basic Procedure (Text)
1 Connect the
device contain-
ing the text file
to be shown in
the display.

4
display the text.
The following additional settings are available in the TEXT display:
LYRICS
CLEAR
FIXED 16-
PROPORTIONAL 28
BACKGROUND
NOTE
• Line feed (or "carriage return") is not automatically done in the instrument. If a sentence is not dis-
played in its entirety because of limitations in the screen space, execute the line feed on your com-
puter.
• When the background color is specified in the song data, the BACKGROUND setting cannot be
changed.
Press the [LYRICS/TEXT]
2
button.
Switches the screen to the Lyrics display.
Clears the text from the screen (the text data itself is not erased). Use this function when you
want to clear the text from the display—both the display of the instrument and a connected
monitor.
Determines the text type (fixed or proportional) and font size. Fixed is suitable for displaying
lyrics with chord names, since the positions of chord names are "fixed" to the corresponding
lyrics. Proportional is suitable for displaying lyrics without chord names or explanatory notes.
The numbers 16-28 indicate font sizes.
Allows changing of the background picture of the text display, as in the Lyrics display described
above. The background setting is common for both the Lyrics display and Text display.
3 Press the [5]/[6]
buttons.
