Loading leadsheets when performing live possible?

[DaPaleRider]

Hi. In addition to my Yamaha MODX7, I now also use my PSR-SX900 in my band. I would like the following but have no idea how:

Is it possible to save a lead sheet with every song I program on the SX900? I want to create a playlist to quickly load a song and then the leadsheet will be loaded into my screen.

You can display the score of a midi file on your screen.

Other than that, you need to use an external device like an iPad to display a lead sheet.

As far as I know, the keyboard can only display a score by extracting the information from a MIDI file. See owners manual "Displaying Music Notation (Score) of the MIDI Song". it can also extract lyrics from a MIDI file. Apart from that, it can also display text files...

If you are thinking lead sheets in the form of a pdf or a graphics file, then you probably need to use an app on a tablet or pc for that . Several apps exist for that purpose. I use MobileSheets myself. But several others exist (Forscore, Songbook+, Onscore ... to name just a couple of them).

They can be configured to automatically load a music score on the tablet/pc, when a registration file is loaded on the PSR SX keyboard. (or vice versa)
Setting up the link between a registration file and an associated score on the tablet/pc, using a yamaha keyboard is easier on some of those apps than on others .... Most of these apps are limited to one operating system.

Hope this helps ...
