Method and system for displaying components of music instruction files

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• accessing a communication interface;
• and
• providing a data signal on the communication interface associated with a file configured for playback with a first audio, the file having one or more file components and a plurality of tracks, the plurality of tracks including:
• a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) view-switching track to automatically control switching of a graphical view of the one or more file components associated with the first audio and displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) during a playback of the first audio;
• a MIDI instrument-switching track to automatically control switching of an instrument displayed in the GUI during the playback of the first audio;
• and
• a MIDI metronome-switching track to automatically control switching of a metronome beat associated with the first audio between on and off during the playback of the first audio.

A computer-readable storage medium containing instruction that, when executed, cause a computer to:

• automatically switch a graphical view of one or more file components associated with a file for a first audio and displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) during a playback of the first audio, the switching based at least in part on a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) view-switching track, the file being configured for playback with the first audio and having a plurality of tracks and the one or more file components the MIDI view-switching track being one of the plurality of tracks;
• automatically switch an instrument displayed in the GUI during the playback of the first audio based at least in part on a MIDI instrument-switching track belonging to the file which is configured for playback with the first audio;
• and
• automatically switch a metronome beat associated with the first audio between on and off during the playback of the first audio based at least in part on a MIDI metronome-switching track belonging to the file.

A system, comprising:

• an audio player to execute a file having a plurality of track modules and one or more file components, wherein the file is configured for playback with a first audio;
• the plurality of track modules including a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) view-switching track module to automatically control switching of a graphical view of the one or more file components associated with the first audio and displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) during a playback of the first audio;
• a MIDI instrument-switching track module to automatically control switching of an instrument displayed in the GUI during the playback of the first audio;
• a MIDI metronome-switching track module to automatically control switching of a metronome beat associated with the audio between on and off during the playback of the first audio;
• and
• a memory to store the modules.
