MUSICAL SCORE DISPLAY AND EDITING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM

摘要

Device (6) displays musical scores to performing musicians incorporating data processing capabilities and via a system may be interconnected for the simultaneous display of scores over a network, allowing coordination of music performed by an ensemble. The leader's device (60) functions as a master device distributing display information to other devices (62, 64). All devices (60, 62, 64) are interactive, allowing editing of the music by the leader during rehearsal or prior to performance. The ensemble leader may insert instructions into the musical score modifying the score and its arrangement using various music editing commands which will be displayed on all devices displaying parts of the score to which they apply; individual musicians may also insert personal annotations into their own parts of the score, but these will be displayed only on their own individual devices.
