I know you can SAVE TEXT to a registration setup song,.......
but, can you SAVE "TEXT SIZE" also so when you call up a song the text size is the way you want it? ...it seems I always have to do that manually from the display screen using the buttons...

Why would you need "Text", Donny?

I thought you memorized all your tunes?

Ian

that is correct Ian BUT, there is always may time when Im naked on stage without my laptop for a short 1hr show that I might need to look at some lyrics of a song request, etc, I haven't done in years....
Now can you also answer the original question?

You play naked on stage Wow what do you getting for that a night,

Donny goes that extra measure for his performances, Ron...he's committed to his work and always prepared to display his talents and give his shows that additional dimension.

Then again, at his age, how hard can it be?

Ian

So I guess at this point no one know the correct answer if at all?

Donny, I don't use the Text or MFD on my arrangers...perhaps you may have better luck on PSR Tutorial?

I said in another thread, I still use real sheet music (in ring-binders)...yeah, I know, it's old fashioned, but it worked for Beethoven (although I don't think he had ring-binders), so it gets a pass from me!

And, it handily survives the old "drop on the concrete floor" test that seems a tad overwhelming to those electronic music pads.

Ian

Ian, Bethoven had a lousy memory, to he had to write down each keystroke on a piece of paper so he could replicate them at a later date. Pros do this stuff out of their head every day of the week - We don't need no stinkin sheet music.

Gary

Ian I'll just wait someone in the know will reply later ...
btw enjoy your binders......
meanwhile its time for my Crimini Mushroom Omlette...

Beethoven was also going deaf in his later years, and he didn't let that stop him, Gary...of course, he didn't have to deal with loud obnoxious ship guns...the cause of Beethoven's deafness is unknown, but it has variously been attributed to typhus, auto-immune disorders (such as systemic lupus erythematosus), and even his habit of immersing his head in cold water to stay awake (now, there's dedication for you..right up there with Donny's appearing naked).

It's funny, but if I have my music in front of me, I never look at it, except very occasionally, or to check what style/tempo I used. It's more of a crutch to me, Gary, and, I do have hundreds of songs in memory, mainly either the more simple or the most complex...strange, eh?

But, I've accepted the fact I need "stinkin sheet music", and, so far, haven't needed therapy, or to appear naked on stage...yet.

I'm sure, due to of some of his more attractive audience members making it a bit hard for him, Donny will always be an outstanding entertainer.

Ian

Just pokin fun at you Ian. However, I do know some excellent players that cannot play a single note without sheet music in front of them. They can play chords I've never heard of, but without that sheet music, nothing comes out of their heads and transmits to their hands.

Donny, the simple answer to your question is no. For some reason, the keyboard does not record the text size in the registration - just the text. The size remains at whatever it was set at when you first accessed the text and set the size. And, if you were to set the text size at 9-pt, then turned off the keyboard, when the keyboard is turned back on it automatically defaults to 16-pt. This is something Yamaha could easily address with a software update.

Now, as for Donny appearing naked - Nah! Of course, there's a song about that, too.



Good luck,

Gary

Whoa! Gotta know where your bellows are at all times if anyone's going to risk that.

124, I was thinkin the same thing - OUCH!

Thank you Gary I can always count on you for info.
Maybe Yamaha will fix that in an update in the future.

That's another of the several small gripes I have about the Yamaha, it won't remember the text size. You have to set it every time you turn on the keyboard.
BTW, Korg does that too, but there are only two sizes to pick from. Good thing about the Korg format though is that it automatically wraps the words at the end of the line, so you don't have to be so particular about your line lengths when making the text file. If you have the wrong line length or text size on Yamaha, it just cuts off the line.

All good points Don.....hope they fix the issue soon & the MFD
