Disklavier

When putting the .MID files onto the floppy, copy (or just drag-and-drop) 
them ONE BY ONE IN THE ORDER YOU WANT.  On the computer the files may still 
be sorted alphabetically or by the modified date (or whichever view you 
selected on the computer).  But on the DKV, as long as there is no index 
file (like what comes on Yamaha PianoSoft disks), I believe it goes by the 
"creation date" of the files - which is actually the time you put each file 
on the floppy.

This is the case on my MarkIIXG, try it out and let us know if your MarkIII 
thinks the same.
