Abstract
In a music arrangement apparatus, a music data block provides a time-series of music data which contains at least a pitch component and which can be sequentially processed to produce a music performance. An arrangement data block provides a time-series of arrangement data in correspondence to the time-series of the music data. A modifying block modifies at least the pitch component of the music data according to the arrangement data so as to arrange at least a melody of the music performance. Further, a selecting block selects one or more of segments of the arrangement data, and a setting block sets the selected segment of the arrangement data.
