Disklavier

I don't have answers - just suggestions!  Since Yamaha uses proprietary 
software, I'm not sure you can exactly duplicate the format.  My suspicions 
are the proprietary stuff is where the pedaling and percussion tracks are 
assigned.

You can title a regular MIDI file using sequencer software that displays on 
the CVP.  I've seen titles on Yamaha's XG Works 3.0.

Perhaps one of those files is a song title manager with a maximum of 5 files 
allowed on the disk.

Giebler software at www.giebler.com may have a program for the Clavinova 
that might do exactly what you want.  It sure works for the Disklavier (YDM 
and DOMSMF).  You can title songs and convert MIDI files to the ESEQ, Yamaha 
proprietary format for DKVs.

Also,what does the owner's manual that came with your CVP say about making 
your own disks?
