Lyrics / Score panel
Ply Lyrics side tabs
These two panels show the lyrics and chord abbreviations. You
can see the following types of lyrics and chords:
•
lyrics contained in a Standard MIDI File or Karaoke™ file
as Lyrics events, or in an MP3 with Lyrics file (in ID3 for-
mat – see www.id3.org).
•
lyrics automatically loaded as a ".TXT" file with a Standard
MIDI File, Karaoke™ or MP3 file. When a ".TXT" file exists
in the same directory as a Standard MIDI File or MP3 file,
and shares exactly the same name, it will be loaded with the
".MID" or "MP3" file (see "Text files loaded with Standard
MIDI Files and MP3 files" on page 170).
•
lyrics contained in a ".TXT" file linked to the latest-selected
Song-based SongBook entry (see "Linked .TXT" on
page 188).
•
when no lyrics data is contained in the Song, or linked to a
SongBook entry, you can see lyrics contained in a ".TXT"
file loaded after selecting a Song (see "On-the-fly TXT
loading" below).
This is the priority of lyrics data shown in the display:
i)
TXT file linked to a SongBook entry, overriding...
ii)
TXT file contained in the same folder as the Standard MIDI
File or MP3 file, recalled by a SongBook entry, overriding...
iii) Lyrics events contained in the Standard MIDI File or MP3 file.
Lyrics will be shown only if they are compatible with a standard
format that Pa2X can understand.
Master Transpose
Song chords
Current beat
While the Song is playing, Lyrics contained in a Standard MIDI
File or MP3 file flow in the display. Chord abbreviations (if any)
will appear above the lyrics, in time with the music (depending
on the "Show chords" parameter status, under the Options side
tab). Lyrics at the current position are highlighted.
If the text has been loaded as a ".TXT' file, it will not scroll auto-
matically 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 pre-
vious or next text page.
If both player are playing, you can choose the Lyrics by moving
the X-FADER slider fully on the left (Player 1) or the right
(Player 2), provided the "Lyrics/Score X-Fader Link" parameter
is turned on (see page 179).
Song chords
Chords contained in the midifile (if any). This indicator may be
easier to read than chords shown within the lyrics.
When changing the Master Transpose, chord abbreviations con-
tained in a Standard MIDI File are transposed, and correctly
shown in the display. Master Transpose must be activated on the
Sequencer, but not on the Keyboard.
