Text in MP3+CGD files
When a ".CDG" file with the same name exists in the same direc-
tory as an MP3 file, 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.
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 with the same name exists in the same direc-
tory as a Standard MIDI File or MP3 file, 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
scrollbar or the VALUE DIAL. As an alternative, you can use the
footswitch, with the Text Page Up or Text Page Down functions
assigned, to scroll (respectively) to the previous or next text
page. You can also mix between advancing with the pedal and
going back with the scrollbar.
Text files must be formatted with non-proportional fonts (like
Courier, Courier New, Monaco, or any other "monospaced"
font). Up to 24 characters can fit a single line of text when using
the bigger font size, 41 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 isn't
linked to any ".TXT" file, 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.
