The tempo setting of some commercially available songs is fixed. These songs are called "free-tempo" software. When playing back freetempo song data on the PSR-550, the Tempo display shows "- - -" and the beat display does not flash. Also, the measure number in the display does not match the actual measure number of playback, and only gives you an indication of how much of the song has played back. 116
