Disklavier

In order to play a .kar file on the Mark IV it must have an extension of .mid.  I  can change 
the extension from .kar  to .mid for these files and the songs play  but the lyrics do NOT 
display on the Mark  IV tablet.  

Karaoke files must be the Tune 1000 type midi file.  You can convert these files to the 
Tune 1000 Midi  type by using GNMidi  software and  they should work fine.  I have tried 
that before and it worked.  I will  verify this again, and let you know.
