Abstract
A song text information input system allows a user to easily input song text control information for controlling the display manner of song texts on the screen without having preknowledge of specific rules for control and use of character codes. The system displays a song text input window that contains a song text expansion area and switch buttons corresponding to a change-line switch and a change-page switch respectively. Using a keyboard, the user is able to sequentially input characters of a song text, which are displayed in the song text expansion area on the screen. As for entry of the song text control information, the user operates specific keys of the keyboard or clicks the switch buttons with a mouse to input special marks such as a change-line mark '/' and a change-page mark '<', which correspond to specific control character codes.
