Korg Pa800
After selecting my song set up using The Song Book I select Lyrics. The lyrics display large fonts. I went to Options and selected small fonts. I then saved this change in the first Performance. When I start the keyboard again the display is back to large fonts.

What am I missing?

And thank you!

It is very easy to build a personal songbook fast:
 
1) Select the style you want to use. Set up the four STS's if you can't use the default ones. Do any necessary modifications to tempo, transpose, volume, eq, balance, effects etc just as you would be doing it live.
 
2) Go to Book Edit Page 1. Fill out the fields (Genre, Artist, Key etc.) Make sure that you check marks in the following boxes:
    Write Current Resource
    Write STS
    All Current Style STS
 
3) If necessary make further changes on Book Edit Page 2. Give the song an unique "Song Selection Number" (301, 302, 303,...).
 
4) Press Write
 
Do 1) to 4) for a number of styles. Now you can put these styles into a custom song book that only shows your own styles:
 
5) Make sure that "Enable Book Edit" is activated from the menu in the upper right corner.
 
6) Go to List Edit and press New List.
 
7) Go to the main Book page and press Add To List for you own entries.
 
8) Finally go back to the List Edit page and save the list.
 
You can choose which list that is shown on the Custom List page. You can continue adding more entries to your custom list by repeating 1-8 above, just do the following instead of 6)
 
6) Select your own list on the Custom list page.
 
This might seem complicated at first but is actually quite logical when you have done it a few times. And the custom list feature also allow you to have the same song in several lists, i.e. Sleigh Ride could be both in "John's Songs" and in "Christmas Songs".
 
Make sure that you check out page 297 in the manual. It contains a lot of shortcuts that will really help you in a live setting.
 
It is also important that you understand how "locks" works to get transpose etc. to work like you want it. Go to Global/General Controls/Locks. If an item is locked it will not change when you select a new songbook entry, style or performance. It will always retain the value of performance 1 (Grand Piano eXp). If you want another locked value just modify performance 1 and overwrite it. If you don't want the value to be locked you should open the lock in Global/General Controls/Locks and then do a Write Globals from the menu in the upper right corner.

Hi Donny, wow I’m impressed, you put time into answering my question, thanks.
You wrote :
“Do 1) to 4) for a number of styles. Now you can put these styles into a custom song book that only shows your own styles” You own styles meaning what?
I have about 250 of my own songs in the song book and I use the filter the Genre with codes to for my different songs. I am satisfied with song book except for Text window. It defaults to Large Fonts when I boot up. ??????

I thought I used disabled – Lock off correctly, maybe not.
Hey,
you have one great year filled with peace and contentment – and DOLLARS (grin)
