A user interface for an electronic device incorporating a touch sensitive display forms a touch input zone on a portion of the display. The touch input zone is split into two sections separated by an origin axis. The origin axis may be fixed or may be determined by an initial touch by a user in the touch zone. The device detects a touch by the user in the touch zone and changes a controllable variable or a pointer to an item within a scrollable list of data elements based on the location of the detected touch relative to the origin axis, where the rate of change is determined by the distance from the touch location to the origin axis and the direction of change is determined by the section in which the touch is detected.

Bi-directional control for touch interfaces

A music game method includes retrieving song data having note information from a storage medium coupled to a computer system. The method also includes determining from the song data at least two note indicators to be presented sequentially and determining from the song data a leader between first and second note indicators. The leader provides information related to the second note indicator. A music game system includes a song manager module configured to retrieve song data having note information from a storage medium, and a user interface module configured to determine from the song data at least two note indicators to be presented sequentially and to determine from the song data a leader between first and second note indicators. Each note indicator is related to corresponding note information. The first and second note indicators are adjacent to one another.

Stringed instruments, game controllers, and related structures and methods are described. A game controller having one or more strings is described for a computer gaming application. Output signals may be sent from the controller to the gaming application indicative of fingering of the game controller and the time at which the strings of the game controller are struck. Multi-mode apparatus are also described. A stringed apparatus may be used as both a game controller and an instrument. Bracing structures and methods are also described for bracing stringed apparatus, such as stringed game controllers and instruments.
