In that case, you will need to synchronize all remain-
ing text (even text you already synchronized) until
the end of the song.
(17) Press the [DISK&MEDIA] button.
The display changes to:
Press [SAVE], followed by [SONG].
This page allows you to save the current song to the
internal memory, a memory card or a floppy disk. It
will be saved along with the Lyrics data you synchro-
nized.
(18) Press the [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], [FLOPPY] or
[INTERNAL¥MEMORY] field to select the area where
you want to save the song.
(19) To save the song under a different name, press
[SONG¥NAME] and enter the desired name. Repeat
this with the [FILE¥NAME] entry.
See page 52. If necessary, you can also supply the
required ARTIST and GENRE information for use with
the SONG FINDER function.
Note: The E-80 supports both upper- and lower-case letters
for file names. Choose whichever is more convenient (or
clearer).
Note: ARTIST and GENRE are not available for files you save to
floppy disk.
(20) Press the [EXECUTE] field to save the song.
If the selected memory area already contains a song
of that name, you are asked whether it is OK to over-
write it.
Press the [YES] field to overwrite the file. This replaces
the song in question with the new version.
Press the [NO] field to return to the SAVE SONG page,
change the name, then press [EXECUTE] again.
The “Operation Successful” message confirms the end
of the operation.
(21) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
You can also use the above procedure to resynchro-
nize lyrics already contained in the song file (if you
feel the synchronization isn’t perfect). See step (4)
and following on page 169.
Exporting Lyrics data as text file
Here’s what you need to do to export the Lyrics data
contained in a Standard MIDI File as text data. This
may be useful for editing or printing the lyrics using
your computer.
Note: This only works if the Standard MIDI File contains lyrics
data.
(1) Load the song whose Lyrics data you want to
export as text file.
See “Playing back songs (Standard MIDI Files)” on
p. 41 for details about selecting songs.
(2) Press the [LYRICS&SCORE] button.
If the display is blank at this point, the selected song
doesn’t contain Lyrics data. It is therefore impossible
to export it as text.
(3) Press the [OPTIONS] field, followed by the
[TXT¥EXPORT] field.
The display changes to:
(4) Name the text file.
This is only necessary if you do not agree with the
suggested name (i.e. the one of the song in question).
See page 52 for how to enter the desired name.
