BFG

Thanks to Joe Muscara's tip (cheers Joe👍) I have finally managed to extract data from the password protected Appendices PDF. Can't understand why the UK version is protected but the U.S. one isn't??? Don't they trust us? Anyway, after a few tedious hours of exporting, copying, pasting & manipulating I have managed to create an Excel workbook with all of the various tables with the exception of the Drum Assignment lists (I'm personally not that interested in these and life is too short to try and unpick that little lot). If this is of any use to anyone then please feel free to download the attached file. Each table is on its own page within the workbook and is simply arranged but should be possible for you to copy and paste into your preferred layout to suit your own requirements. Hopefully there are no typos but please refer back to the original documentation if you have any queries. Enjoy! CASIO CT-X5000 Appendices.xlsx

Just purchased the CT-X5000 for my stepson who is musically gifted but has learning difficulties. However trying to use the appendices which list all of the tones, rhythms, etc which are only available on large A2 sized sheets which are not really useful as a quick reference tool and this is causing him to get stressed and frustrated and I'm sure others may feel similar frustration. The downloadable PDF copy (also in A2) is password protected so you cannot export the tabular data into something like Word or Excel where you could have more control over how the data is presented. Personally I would have thought an A4 booklet would have been more usable as a quick lookup tool. Even better would be the option to have a digital copy available such as a CSV file which could be used in Excel and thus enable users to trim down and organise these massive lists to suit our individual preferences. I have approached Casio UK support but all they can say is that they have passed on my concerns to head office and we all know where that usually ends up! I have resorted to laboriously typing out the tones and rhythms so that my stepson has a handy A4 reference tool to readily locate what he is after. Curious why Casio have chosen such a cumbersome format to provide this important data.
