<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a musical score word processor that employs the tablature musical score input method of the present invention, in which 1 is a keyboard having normal note keys and editing command keys, and serves as a manual input section for inputting musical score data; A control unit that controls each block, has a memory for storing musical score fonts and external information, and edits musical score data input from the keyboard 1 based on editing commands, etc. 3 is an editing processing = 4- A buffer memory for storing edited score data is a CRT that also serves as a display section for displaying edited score data and tablature input means to be described later.

The CRT 4 is equipped with a light pen as a tablature input means for reading information displayed on the screen, and receives a menu key signal from the keyboard 1 to display a guitar tablature music score input menu as shown in FIG. 5 on the screen. ,
Musical score data corresponding to the menu specified by the light pen is input to the control section 2. The control unit 2 also serves as a tablature score creation means for creating a score written in tablature using the tablature core font stored in the built-in memory from score data input with a light pen. The tablature core score is stored in the buffer memory 3, and the CRT 4
For example, it is displayed as shown in FIG.

Regarding the operation of the musical score word processor with the above configuration, the fourth
This will be explained next with reference to the figure.

First, in step St, when the tablature input designation key on the keyboard 1 is pressed, the control unit 2 receives a signal from this key, performs initial settings, and displays the guitar strings on the CRTJ as shown in Figure 7.

adds the symbol corresponding to the tablature, and if "Shichi", "Continue" is specified in the continuous column, it is judged as yes in step S5, and the operation of step S4 is repeated, and -7 to After adding a tuplet symbol as illustrated in FIG. 3 to the tablature input during that time, the process proceeds to step S6.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, when composing music while playing the guitar, the operator can use the tablature music score input menu as shown in FIG. By simply instructing the song with a light pen, you can immediately do it manually without having to go through the trouble of converting the music into 5-line notation as in the past. This greatly simplifies the process of creating music scores, matching the sense of performance. This has the advantage that input can be performed more easily and quickly than when inputting from the tablature keys above. In addition, the control unit 2
Needless to say, the tablature stored in the built-in memory can be outputted to a printer or the like as appropriate.

In the above embodiment, musical score data is input by pointing the tablature menu displayed on the CRTJ with a light pen, but this may also be done using the tablature keys provided on the keyboard. The instruction means is not limited to a light pen, but may be a mouse or the like, and the -8= display section is not limited to a CRT, but may also be an LCD or the like. It goes without saying that the tablature musical score of the present invention can be applied to musical instruments other than guitars, and the method of the present invention can also be applied to personal computers and the like.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above explanation, the tablature score input method of the present invention edits the score data input from the input section in the control section, and stores the edited score data in the memory. In the musical score input device for displaying on the display section, a musical score is input in tablature from the tablature input means provided in the two-note horn section, and tablature is generated from the input musical score data by the tablature musical score creation means provided in the control section. When composing music using a musical instrument, the operator can use the keys on the tablature input means that correspond directly to the performance guidelines for the instrument. etc., the music can be inputted immediately without the trouble of replacing it with 5-line notation, making it much easier to create music scores that match the sense of performance, and the tablature score displayed is also 5-line notation for instrumental players.
