Claims39
A computer implemented method for composing music, comprising:
- launching a menu based on an input from an input device, said menu having a characteristic which is determined by one of an input history and a position of said input device;
- inputting information by using said input device to select information from said menu and to handwrite information in an unconstrained manner;
- and
- displaying input information as musical notation.
A computer-implemented system for composing music, comprising:
- a digital input device for inputting information by traversing a tablet, movement of said digital input device launching a menu for entering notes and silences, and by inputting graphic, text, and gesture information via unconstrained handwriting, said menu having a characteristic which is determined by one of an input history and a position of said input device;
- a transposer for transposing information selected from said menu and said unconstrained handwriting into a musical notation;
- and
- a display for displaying said musical notation.
A signal-bearing medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a digital processing apparatus to perform a method of composing music, said method comprising:
- launching a menu based on detecting an input from a input device, said menu having a characteristic which is determined by one of an input history and a position of said input device;
- inputting information by using said input device to select information from said menu and to handwrite information in an unconstrained manner;
- and
- displaying input information as musical notation.
