Text in MP3+CGD files
When a ".CDG" file exists in the same directory as an MP3 file,
and shares exactly the same name, it will be loaded with the
"MP3" file, and can be seen in the Lyrics page.
As an example, if the file "MYSONG.CDG" exists in the same
directory as the "MYSONG.MP3" file, it is loaded together with
the matching ".MP3" file.
The text will scroll automatically while the Song is playing back.
Note: When a ".CDG" file is loaded with the Song, it overrides any
included Lyrics data.
Text files loaded with Standard MIDI Files and
MP3 files
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, and can be seen in the
Lyrics page.
As an example, if the file "MYSONG.TXT" exists in the same
directory as the "MYSONG.MID" or "MYSONG.MP3" file, it is
loaded together with the matching ".MID" or ".MP3" file.
However, unlike ordinary Lyrics, the text will not scroll automat-
ically while the Song is playing back. You must scroll it with the
VALUE DIAL. 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.
Text files must be formatted with non-proportional fonts (like
Courier, Courier New, Monaco, or any "monospaced" font). Up
to 41 characters can fit a single line of text when using the bigger
font size, 24 when using the smaller font size (see "ABC" above).
Note: When a ".TXT" file is loaded with the Song, it overrides any
included Lyrics data.
On-the-fly TXT loading
When a Song 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 press
the LYRICS button.
The same happens while in Style Play mode.
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 will appear, and will let you look for
a ".TXT" file to be loaded.
Hint: You can use the Search function to search a ".TXT" file in the
various storage devices. See the relevant chapter in the Quick
Guide.
