Abstract
A music score with notes and signs in musical notation is displayed on the screen of a computer system using musical data representing events of notes and signs for a musical performance. The score is editable by moving a note from the exhibited position to another position on the screen. In case the moved note is connected with another note by a connective sign such as a slur, a slide, a bending (i.e. choking) and a hammering-on, the connective sign is also moved to the new position of the moved note. When the notes connected by the connective sign cannot be displayed on the same screen window, the connective sign is exhibited in a special fashion to indicate the associated connection. When the score is expressed in a tablature notation, appropriate modifications are employed to indicate correct manipulative operations for the instrument player.
