on
your
lower

either
as
a
one-finger
or
fingered
mode.
DON'T
PRESS

however,
since

you
the

is
now
in
the

or
Since
the

again.
The
“beep”
sounds
and
the

The second measure contains only the Dm7 chord. If you
don’t form it yourself, you can press the one-finger D chord
and
add
a
short
bass
pedal
(for

and
a
long
pedal
(for
seventh). While holding this chord, press the K—y key; the
second measure is now complete.
Continue with the remaining chords in the example, entering
half and whole measures as required. Incidentally, the notes
of the Em7 (b5) chord are E-G-Bb-D. The last chord, C, is
played for two measures. As you hold down the key(s), press
the (-— key twice — once for each measure.
