Multi-dimensional transformation systems and display communication architecture for musical compositions

A musical display networked music system for selectively creating derivative musical compositions, and monitoring user performance relative to a stored original musical composition, the system comprising:

• a plurality of networked music display subsystems, said subsystems enabled to communicate;
• a user input device responsive to a user for providing user control signals;
• composition selection means for providing a selected musical composition responsive to the stored original musical composition;
• means for associating the selected musical composition with an associated addressable user type;
• wherein each of the music display subsystems is further comprised of an addressable receiver for selectively receiving addressed communication for the associated addressable user type to provide for a local display presentation of the respective selected musical composition in a display format directed to the associated addressable user type;
• a local display each associated with one of the associated addressable user types:
• wherein the system is further comprised of means for communicating the selected musical composition to at least one of said plurality of music display subsystems, such that said selected musical composition is received and displayed only by the respective associated local display.

A networked musical presentation system capable of individually and simultaneously displaying a plurality of individual musical scores relating to a common selected musical composition, each of the plurality of scores being correspondingly displayed for a selected corresponding one of a plurality of musical instrument types, the system comprising:

• a music database storage subsystem comprising at least one of a plurality of musical compositions, each said musical composition comprising music data representative of a corresponding music score stored in the database;
• first means for selecting a particular one of the musical compositions from the music database;
• second means for selecting at least one particular one of the plurality of musical instrument types associated with a particular musical instrument associated with the selected particular one of the musical compositions;
• memory for storing the music data corresponding to the selected particular one of the musical compositions;
• controller means for performing system tasks, said controller means comprising means for adapting the music data for the selected particular one of the musical compositions to provide display presentation data for the selected musical instrument types;
• and
• a plurality of networked music display presentation stands each providing a music display presentation responsive to said controller means and said display presentation data, each said stand being associated with one of the selected particular musical instrument types, each said stand further comprising means for locally displaying a respective associated particular one of said plurality of musical scores in accordance with the selected particular musical instrument type associated with using that stand.

A method for presenting a music score presentable in at least one of a plurality of play modes, for display of a display presentation on at least one of a plurality of music display subsystems, said modes including a practice mode and a performance mode, the method comprising the steps of:

• selecting an adaptation to the music score;
• adapting the music score in accordance with the selected adaptation, thereby creating at least one adapted practice music score;
• displaying the at least one adapted practice music score on at least one said music display subsystem;
• selecting a first performance play mode of the plurality of play modes;
• and
• displaying a selected performance music score in accordance with said selected play mode.
