Hi, I have a Yamaha Sx900. On my past keyboards I was able to create a song set up (not a song) and then add Text/Lyrics to the set up. I can’t find a way to the same thing on the Sx900.

I am not trying to add the Text to a song or a midi file.
Any help is appreciated, John C.

You can put the lyrics in a text file and load that as part of a registration setup.

John, I copied my Text files on to a memory stick, in folders and text format. On the computer, no problem, the folders open. In the Sx900 when I try to open the same folders, I get a blank page. Had no problem with Pa4x, using the same method. I am missing something.

Thanks for your reply, John C.
PS, saving Text on to the regs on the Sx900 is not a problem.

Hello

Make sure you select Text and not Lyrics.....and be sure to have those song lyrics in Text format.

Modorantes, what I like about keyboards, is that there is always something to learn. I thought that Lyrics and Text were the same; just saved differently. And, thank you for helping me to understand.

John A. I have my songs written in a word program in my PC. Many of them are recopied and saved in Simple Text.

Not getting bored, just finished making a wood stand for my Sx900. It will hold the keyboard, a 22” monitor, a laptop, and a mic stand; all wires tucked away.

I think the only format that works is plain text in a ".txt" file. Also I don't think that long lines wrap around so you have to do that manually. Having said that I have a suspicion that someone has done a utility that can do this for you, could be worth a look on the very useful P SR Tutorial site

Hi John,

In the past, I have used a program called PSRUTI and actually wrote a tutorial quite a few years ago Adding Lyrics with PSRUTI

I must admit, it's been a long time since I've used PSRUTI, so maybe I'll give it another go.

I use it all the time for editing midis,but never tried lyrics.

I recently tried add lyrics to a midi song using the Serenade program. It’s worked for me in the past, and it kind of worked now also, but not quite.
When I tried the file using van basco it worked great. But..... in the SX900 no lyrics appeared. Any help is appreciated
Thank you
Jim

There are some song settings to do with score and lyric display that could be significant.

I generally have melody and lyrics in channel 4 which matches general midi, I think karaoke midi files use channel 1
