MIDI lyrics not showing Tyros5

This has been solved. See post #5 below for the solution.
Thanks everyone for your help. I appreciate it.


I have one midi file that has a problem concerning lyrics. The file is a ".mid" file.
When played using the VanBasco player, the lyrics show up fine and the music is there.
When I load the midi file onto the Tyros5 & press play no lyrics are displayed but the music is there.

I looked at the Lyrics tab in Song Creator and there are no lyrics there yet the VanBasco player displays them fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you press the Lyrics/text button at the top of the player?

Thanks Gary.

I did press the Lyrics/text button.
When I edit the file using "Midieditor" I can see the lyrics when I click on an event. So the lyrics are there in the file. I think there is a command somewhere in the file that is telling the Tyros that there are no lyrics.

When I go into "Song Creator and tab over to the Lyrics tab, there are no lyrics displayed there.

Any help is appreciated.

Check the file extension - might just be something that is not recognized by the keyboard.

This issue is solved.

I searched this forum and found a couple of posts but there were no solutions. I was finally able to determine what the problem was.

The lyrics that are in the file were entered with the attribute of "Text".  I edited the file and changed all of the "Text' attribute to have an attribute of "Lyric".

When played using the VanBasco player, the lyrics show up fine and the music is there.
When I load the midi file onto the Tyros5, the lyrics show up fine and the music is there.

It looks like the VanBasco player can display the words(Karaoke) that are in the file designated as "Text" or "Lyric";.

The T5 can only display the words when they are designated as "Lyric".

Thanks again to everyone for your help.
