Disklavier

hello DUG,

after downloading midi song and saving it on a 1.44Mbyte format 2HD 
floppy disk, i went ahead and edit the title of that song. after 
pressing the save it to disk button, i got this error message "cannot 
execute on SMF format 1 disk". What did i do wrong? and is there a 
solution?

Although your model of Disklavier will play back Type 1 SMFs, it will not let 
you edit them. So, save them as Type 0 on the computer first, or use the 
convert feature of your Disklavier to convert the file to SMF Type 0.

One other suggestion if  you prefer to keep the file as Type 1: in your 
computer sequencer, give the file a "sequence" title. (The exact name for 
this type of title varies from software to software. Poke around a little 
bit, and you will probably find a dialog box within  your sequencer in which 
you can at a title.)
