Once your performances have been saved as user Songs, they can be 
converted to SMF (Standard MID File) format files and saved to USB flash 
memory (page 77) and used with the score display function. This means 
that when inspiration strikes and you create a great melody, you can save 
it in both listenable and written score form.
