Abstract
A musical data inputting apparatus comprising a touch panel for receiving a hand-writing operation thereon detects a figure and/or a symbol drawn on the touch panel by the hand-writing operation, and further recognizes intensity of depression or the number of depressions applied on the touch panel by the hand-writing operation. The apparatus recognizes musical data such as pitches and lengths of notes, a tonality and/or a time of music based on the detected figure and symbol and the recognized intensity and number of depressions of the hand writing operation. Musical data can be input without precisely writing the whole of the musical data themselves on the touch panel.
