Game system and computer-readable recording medium

A game system comprising:

• an input apparatus which is manipulated by a player;
• performance data memory device which stores performance data stipulating a series of manipulations of said input apparatus arranged in correspondence with a predetermined musical piece;
• manipulation guide device which specifies the series of manipulations of said input apparatus arranged in correspondence with said musical piece to the player based on said performance data;
• said performance data comprising information which specifies timings of manipulations relating to at least one timing manipulation member provided on said input apparatus, and information which specifies at least one selection manipulation member to be manipulated in correspondence with the manipulation of said timing manipulation member from a plurality of selection manipulation members provided on said input apparatus;
• edit screen display device which displays an edit screen having a display range corresponding to part of said musical piece based on said performance data;
• scrolling device which continuously changes the relationship between said musical piece and said display range in response to a predetermined record start manipulation of said input apparatus so that the editing position in said edit screen continuously changes forwards or backwards with respect to said musical piece;
• and
• edit recording device which detects at least one part of the manipulations of said timing manipulation members and said plurality of selection manipulation members with respect to said input apparatus while the relationship between said musical piece and said display range is being changed by said scrolling device, displays a note mark corresponding to the detected manipulation in said edit screen, and changes said performance data so that the manipulation corresponding to the note mark is stipulated in said performance data.

A computer-readable recording medium which stores performance data stipulating a series of manipulations of an input apparatus provided in a game system in correspondence with a predetermined musical piece, said performance data comprising information which specifies timings of manipulations relating to at least one timing manipulation member provided in said input apparatus, and information which specifies at least one selection manipulation member to be manipulated in correspondence with the manipulation of said timing manipulation member from a plurality of selection manipulation members provided in said input apparatus;

• the recording medium further storing a program which allows a computer provided in said game system to function as
• edit screen display device which displays an edit screen having a display range corresponding to part of said musical piece based on said performance data;
• scrolling device which continuously changes the relationship between said musical piece and said display range in response to a predetermined record start manipulation of said input apparatus so that the editing position in said edit screen continuously changes forwards or backwards with respect to said musical piece;
• and
• edit recording device which detects at least one part of the manipulations of said timing manipulation members and said plurality of selection manipulation members with respect to said input apparatus while the relationship between said musical piece and said display range is being changed by said scrolling device, displays a note mark corresponding to the detected manipulation in said edit screen, and changes said performance data so that the manipulation corresponding to the note mark is stipulated by said performance data.
