Disklavier

Thanks for info, Kevin.

I am spending a considerable time putting the names in some of the
midi files online that don't have the right names.  I will probably
end up using these as backups for original midis I put on the disklavier.

almost certain I've done what you are asking with a memory stick, and
it works exactly as you expect.  Folders are recognized (at least one
