Abstract
A self-adjusting music scrolling method comprises providing a display screen, selecting a music score to be played by a musician, wherein the music score is cataloged and stored in a music score database as a first MIDI file, displaying a first portion of the selected music score on the display screen, recording musical notes played by a musician with a digital device, storing the recorded musical notes in memory as a WAV file, converting the WAV file into a second MIDI file, comparing the first MIDI file and the second MIDI file with a MIDI comparison algorithm, determining if the first MIDI file substantially matches the second MIDI file, automatically adjusting the music score on the display screen to show a second portion of the selected music score upon determining that the first MIDI file substantially matches the second MIDI file, and displaying one or more mistakes detected on the display screen upon determining that the first MIDI file does not substantially match the second MIDI file.
