Displaying Music Notation (Score)
You can view the music notation of the selected Song. We suggest that you read through the music notation before
starting to practice.
•The instrument can display the music notation of commercially-available music data or your recorded Songs.
•The displayed notation is generated by the instrument based on the Song data. As a result, it may not be exactly the same as com-
mercially available sheet music of the same song—especially when displaying notation of complicated passages or many short
notes.
•The notation functions cannot be used to create Song data by inputting notes. For information on creating Song data, see
page 147.
