For those of you who already have the app SongBook+ on an iPad or tablet .. . .and connect the iPad to your Genos keyboard.
Now that it is very easy to control the keyboard with the iPad/SongBook+, using the SongBook+ you can easily create as many playlists as you want in any order (alpha, genre). You control the gig with the iPad. I do not even use the Genos playlist feature.
If you do not have SongBook+ or equivalent app just disregard my comment.
thanks
The playlists can be used in 2 ways - If you have a gig playlist then you would want it to stay in the order you entered it.
If, like me, you want to set up for a new song which you haven't played before, then I use Yamaha's suggested setting as a base to start working from but, how do you find a song in a list of more than 1500 songs if they are not in alphabetical order?
What's needed is 2 boxes on the screen where you can tick whether to keep a playlist in the same order or whether to put it in alphabetic order to make searching quick and easy.
Surprised that Yamaha didn't consider the possibility of how the playlists would be used.
Thanks to the guys who posted their findings and suggestions how to help but I think I will leave the playlist alone until Yamaha makes it worthy of the fantastic Genos
