The song play back starts, and the score moves with the tune.

Some notes on a Score Screen

• When you start playback of music files, the

marks appears. While this appears on the

score, the KF-90 is reading data from the floppy disk and making the score. Please wait until
reading of the data is complete.

• In the Score screen, some lyrics or notes could extend beyond the edges of the screen, and not

be displayed.

• The scores that are presented by the display are produced based on the music files. Viewing

ease is given priority over precise expression when dealing with complex, high-level music.
Because of this, you may find that the score shown in the display does not match what is
provided on commercially available sheet music. The score display feature is particularly
unsuitable for the display of difficult, complex musical works that demand accurate notation.
In addition, the display cannot show notes that are briefer than a sixteenth note.

• If you use the icons on-screen to change the displayed part while the song is playing, the song

may be played back from the beginning.

Adjusting the Tempo

With songs that are difficult to play because their tempo is too rapid, you
may find it helpful to first practice the song with the tempo slowed down.
Then, after becoming more familiar with the song, you can practice it at a
gradually faster tempo.

Changing the tempo has no effect on the pitch of the notes. And you can
change the tempo even when the song is in progress.

• Pressing the [+] button once increases the tempo by one unit. Holding

down the button makes the tempo change (slow down) continuously.
