Make Use Of the Score In the Melody Type
If you want to play the melody with the correct rhythm or play ad-lib lines, use the on-
screen score feature.
Displaying the Score
After performing steps 1 – 3 on the previous page, press the [SCORE] button.
The melody score will appear.
The Score Is Handy When …
You Want To Play With the Correct Rhythm
Use the score when you’re playing a melody you’re not familiar with. The marker will
indicate the current position in the score during playback. If you play a key each time
the marker appears above a note in the score you will be able to play the melody with
the correct “original” rhythm.
You Want To Play Jazzy Ad-lib Lines
When you are using the performance assistant technology Melody type and you play
on the keyboard during breaks in the melody, jazzy* ad-lib phrases will automatically
be created. For example, measures 048 through 055 of the song (“001 Don’t Know
Why”) are a break in the melody. Try creating interesting ad-lib phrases during the
breaks.
* Playing With a Jazz Feel
You can play any keys you like. Begin by playing one note at a time with the right-
hand fingers in sequence: thumb index middle. Then play a simple scale (ex:
do-re-mi ...) including black keys while adding dynamic variation. When you get
used to playing like this try adding your left hand. Play chords (multiple notes)
with the left hand in the spaces between what the right hand is playing.
You can stop song playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

Jazz Rhythm
The term “jazz rhythm” usually
refers to a light-hearted swing-
ing rhythm. Here’s a written
explanation.
Straight rhythm:
(one, two, three, four, …)
A more jazzy rhythm:
(one-two-three, two-two-three,
three-two-three …)
Most jazz rhythms have a “trip-
let” feel like the last one above.
Keep this feel in mind while
playing your jazz ad-lib phrases!
