Lyrics/STS
The Lyrics/STS page is where you can see lyrics, chords, scores,
and select STSs.
Seq./Style Lyrics side tabs
These three panels show the lyrics and chord abbreviations. You
can find more information on the types of data supported on
page 164.
When a Song-based entry has been selected, you can see lyrics
contained in a Standard MIDI File as Lyrics events, or in an MP3
with Lyrics file. In this case, text will automatically flow with the
music.
You can also see lyrics contained in a ".TXT" file linked to a Style-
or Song-based SongBook entry. In this case, unlike with ordinary
Lyrics, the text will not scroll automatically while the Song is
playing back. You must scroll it with the DIAL or the vertical
scrollbar. As an alternative, you can use an assignable switch or
footswitch, with the Text Page Up or Text Page Down functions
assigned, to scroll (respectively) to the previous or next text page.
When no lyrics data is contained in the Song, or linked to a
SongBook entry, and no ".TXT" file has been linked to the cur-
rent entry, you can see lyrics contained in a ".TXT" file loaded
after selecting an entry (see "On-the-fly TXT loading" below).
When a ".TXT" file is associated to the current entry, a vertical
scrollbar appears, allowing you to scroll to the previous or
former text page during the performance.
Note: You cannot scroll a single line of text at a time; you always
scroll by a whole page of text, either if you touch on the scrollbar or
one of the small scrolling arrows.

Lyrics as text files associated to a Song-
Book entry
Lyrics can be associated to each SongBook entry (either Style or
Song-based) as a ".TXT" file. See "Linked .TXT" on page 184 for
more information on this issue.
On-the-fly TXT loading
When an entry does not contain any Lyrics metadata or has no
".TXT" file linked, the "No lyrics. Press SHIFT and touch here to
load a TXT file" message appears in the display when you go to
the Lyrics/STS page.
When this message appears, and you want to load a ".TXT" file,
keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch the center of the dis-
play. A standard file selector appears, and lets you look for
".TXT" file to be loaded to be shown while the current Style or
Song is playing.
Hint: When the file selector appears, you can use the Search
( ) function to search a ".TXT" file in the various media. See
"Searching files" on page 244 for more information.
