Apparatus and method for controlling display of music score

Abstract

Supply section supplies performance data of a music piece, and a processor, coupled with a display device and the supply section, controls the display device to display a music score of the music piece using a predetermined basic display block. On the basis of the supplied performance data, the processor detects music score marks included in each of predetermined music piece sections of the music piece. Then, for each of the music piece sections, the processor sets the detected music score marks to be placed in a single basic display block or dividedly in a plurality of the basic display blocks. If any one of the music piece sections includes too many music score marks, the processor dividedly allocates the music score marks to two or more basic display blocks. Thus, for each of the music piece sections, the music score marks can be displayed using a variable number of the basic display block.
