Access Your Songs in Songbook Faster

Post by k_sac »

Easy - start all of YOUR songs with the naming convention:

1-[Song Name]

Then sort by the name - your stuff will be on top. You don't need to delete all the factory songs to get them out of your way.

Thank you very informative more tutorials are needed for Korg Owners.
A nice tutorial on keyboard sets would be great and actually creating songbook entries.

Good Idea,

I´ve got a better one ;)

Put an "_" in front of all the factory entries ( of course via PC ), so they´ll be displayed always last...

This has to be done only once ( If you put a "1-" in front you´ll have to ensure to never forget it when crating a new entry) ;)

That sounds pretty kewl - I have not tried the computer-based program yet. However, I might still do it this way as 1- would represent songs that are finished and 2- would represent songs that are in progress.

I always type my new titles in all caps. Easy to locate while still keeping the factory songs.

OR...
I change the "Artist Name" to my band's name then I can still sort by song name if I wish.

I find it easier to use Setlists. I have many, depending on my repertoire and the different soloists I am acompaning. When i turn the keyboard on at a gigg, I just select the setlist I will be using that evening. I arrange the songs alphabetically myself and they are so easy to find!
I think it's a pitty to not create different setlists and not use this option.
