Song Name Not Shown

Post by Ron »

Have upgraded to 5X from 4X and have noticed the song name contained in the Songbook (or Setlist) does not appear anywhere in the main display. The songbook name in the main display is useful to know that I am playing a style modified for a specific song or person. Am I missing something or is this a change from the 4X?

Found a work-around for this if anybody is interested.

If the style of interest is not already the song name, save a copy and rename it as you wish. I usually just use the song name but sometimes I add the master transpose in the name to indicate it's for a specific vocalist.

Now you just add the renamed style to the Songbook in the usual way under whatever name you want. When you call up that song, the name you gave the copied style shows up clearly on the player display.

Yes, it wastes a user memory slot for the re-named style but it shows the song name even more clearly than was possible on the 4X. Thinking back, could have done the same thing on the 4X but wasn't really necessary since the player display already showed the songbook name even though it was a bit harder to read.

Any other thoughts or ideas appreciated.
