turned off).
• An audible count sounds for a number of beats before a Song Bank tune starts to play.
• The final beat of the count (the last beat before the tune starts to play) is a higher pitch than the
other beats. It is indicated in the following example by " ̅".
* The lengths of the pre-tune counts are also indicated in the musical scores that come with this
keyboard.
Example: Indicates a 3-beat count.
