Any sneaky way of displaying "comments" on Display?

[EricBarker]

Coming from a Mainstage setup, I typically use a text field to give myself a few performance notes for songs. I typically use drawbars in Live mode, but it's nice to sometimes shorthand a registration, or the first few notes of an intro melody that I keep blanking on! (happens to all of us).

Has anyone figured out some method of displaying a line or so of text, per Song? Otherwise I can just print an 8.5x11 cheat sheet. I have an iPad which I've used while first learning songs for a new band quickly, but at this point I'm pretty solid and that's overkill.

The only way I know of to encode information is in the name of the song, program or preset. Example would "IsShe C#m AT MW" would be "Is She Going Out With Him" that starts in C#m and the program uses both aftertouch and mod wheel. Space is extremely limited.

Yeah, I'm putting the starting Key in the Song Name too, but I'd have to really truncate to get anything more.

I guess I could theoretically create a bunch of dummy Synth patches with notes on them, but that gets excessive. Maybe this will just force me to improve my memory that last little smidge!

# might no be available as character... there is no + since years... so good luck (I am far from my Nord now to check)

I have to admit, I was pretty shocked at the complete lack of special characters for naming. I’ll probably use “s” for sharp. Or use the flat enharmonic equivalent.

Eric, you play all the song just from head? lol

You'd be surprised how many of us play everything from memory, usually remembering most of it

I have occasionally saved some chords in the display of a keyboard, though not too many that I remember lately. Back in the '00s I was in a 10-piece wedding band that did a ton of very wide-ranging material from jazz sets to funk, R&B, disco, modern, etc. and I somehow committed almost all of it to memory. Except the bridge for Saving All My Love For You - I could not remember that darn thing for whatever reason...so I took a small part of an index card and wrote the chords on it, then taped it pretty much permanently on my keyboard. LOL.

Been there, done that!

You can double the "information text" by using Song mode title AND program name !
