An electronic musical instrument loads, by a program process, automatic performance data representative of a musical piece and text data representative of characters into a RAM 24 to cause a musical tone signal generating circuit 14 to emit musical tone signals on the basis of the automatic performance data to reproduce the musical piece. In synchronization with the reproduction of the musical piece, the characters based on the text data are displayed on a display unit 13. The type, size, and color of the characters to be displayed are specified by a display mode control command contained in the automatic performance data. The total number of pages required when all the characters are sequentially displayed on the display unit 13 is calculated and stored for each of previously provided fonts. When any one of the fonts is selected, the stored total number of pages for the font is displayed. Pages to be displayed are switched in response to a text page control command contained in the automatic performance data. The present invention configured as above eliminates an inconvenience encountered in displaying characters in synchronization with reproduction of automatic performance data.
