chord charts/lead sheets

[jayfield]

I see a score option in the menu however I can't find any scores or chord charts in my G2
Here's an example of a basic chord chart in the board

Is there a video or info on inserting chords or scores?

In the video you are refering to a simple sheet of paper laying on the G2 screen is shown...

As far as I know score sheets are only available when playing MIDI files.
Here is a video which explains some basics:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5HM3DBBPI8

The score option is available when you play back a MIDI file - whether it is a MIDI file that you got somewhere else, or a MIDI file that you created yourself from a recording. It is generated 'live' by the keyboard for display, you can choose which MIDI channels map to the treble / bass staff. Note that you cannot load and display a PDF file of a score.

Some MIDI files - including the ones you create from a recording with a style - have the chord symbols available above the staff. Again this is generated live from the chord data in the file.

Chord charts like you've shown cannot be generated live. The closest you'll get is a text file that you or someone else previously created manually, since the keyboard can display text files,

 Does the G2 come with any midi scores or chord charts already on board? So far Ive had no luck finding any. Thanks

There is a simple <ChordTutor> (see photo1)

You can load 1! picture (800x420 px) as a background in the Lyrics function. Then you have 1 display with your own picture. No song or midi loaded! But if that is handy, I doubt? (see photo2). But I write this purely what can be done with the 'techique' from 1900 

I guess it is much practical to use the displays of a computer/laptop/tablet.

I don't have a G2. But I expect that, like the G1, it comes with sample MIDI songs. Open the song player, pick MIDI and have a look.

When you're playing back one of those sample MIDI songs, you will be able to open the score view. Remember this is being generated 'live' from the data in the MIDI file.

You will not find Music you can just sit and play on any keyboard.

Yes, no music to play but how bout just a basic chord chart is that within the G2 anywhere for  playlists or styles?

If you mean the chords for the original song associated with the style, no. That's for you to work out and provide.

I could see Marvin Gaye's estate freaking out if the chord chart for "***ual Healing" was ever combined with "SlowSoulJam". Even Yamaha doesn't have enough money to satisfy copyright leeches.
