For singing I simply note either the key I'm going to sing the tune in or what works well is just enter -2, -1, +1, or + 2 etc. in the title entry in music finder. That's an easy reference that when I start the tune I need to hit the transpose button up or down. I also note in the title (thanks to Scott Yee for the suggestion) that I make notes for what instruments play on each OTS. So for instance an mfd entry look something like this:
Fly Me to Moon, -2, 1P2JG3S4Ham
Which would translate to hit transpose button down 2 steps OTS 1 Piano OTS 2 Jazz Guitar OTS3 Sax OTS 4 Hammond Organ .
Now I hope Yamaha is reading this ridiculous uneeded hodgepodge of steps we have to go thru if you want to use the MFD in its current state....no wonder no one hardly uses it in a real gigging situation ALL this information should be on screen & Transpose saved...a;so the display should be a little bit bigger also on all units tilt or not. Yamaha wake up please.
