I also use a laptop and MS Word to display the lyrics, chords if I don't have them in my head and keyboard settings. They're all stored in a file folder, which provides instant access. I use a white background and black, 14-point font Times New Roman print, which is really easy to see at distances to 10 feet. I also change the spacing to 1.2, use all caps and bold print. All of these things make the text much easier to see.

When the song will not fit on a single page, it must be scrolled, which is as simple as the touch of a cursor key. My laptop has a 14-inch screen and this too is an asset.

The computer sits on a specially constructed shelf that is directly in front of the keyboard. It is also used to store midi files, MP3s and is connected to my PSR-2000 via a USB/midi adapter for midi files, while the computer's audio out is routed to the keyboard's Line/Mic Input.

IMHO, the laptop is the best thing that could happen for all performing musicians.

Good Luck,

Gary
