Hello:
I my current stock screen layout has a large text field on the left of the screen and my midi screen control buttons and sliders on the right side of the screen. I am posting regarding the text field on the left. I have set up by patch; song lyrics, chords, and ques. However there is not enough room for all the information I need on some of the songs. I notice that it will allow me to type in more text then fits in the text frame and allow me to mouse scroll in performance mode. However, mouse scrolling is not something I can do while singing and playing guitar. I am hoping there is a way to get the scroll function "Hands free". I would be happy with any of the following input methods to make it scroll:
Midi controller input from my sustain or modulation pedal
Midi controller input from my KMI Softstep
Bluetooth input from my "PageFlip" bluetooth foot pedal
or a timebased scroll function so it just automatically scrolls slowly while the band is performing

Note, I have seen some posts on other forms about using "Markers" with a audio playback or sequenced midi performance. However, our band isn't using those at this point.

Thanks for any ideas....
