An electronic image visualization system, such as a music stand system and display, management and communications methodologies relating thereto are presented. The electronic music stand system is comprised of a performer subsystem comprising a processing subsystem, librarian logic, performance logic, and communications management logic. The communications management logic provides management of communication via the communications interface with external apparatus responsive to the performance logic and the librarian logic. The user input apparatus and the display apparatus can be integrated into a touch-screen input display. The user input apparatus can alternatively be at least one of a touch-tablet, a stylus-based writing tablet, a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, a game controller, and a switch. In a preferred embodiment, the librarian logic, the performance logic and the communications management logic are defined by program data stored in the data storage apparatus, and the processor is responsive to the program data for managing data formatting, displaying music, and management of communications of data with the external apparatus. In one embodiment, two Performer subsystems are operable alternatively as one of a single appliance as a linked set a linked mode and as two independent appliances a stand-alone mode, wherein in the linked mode each of the two Performer subsystems operate cooperatively with each other as a linked set to provide a two page display on the video presentation, and wherein in the stand alone mode each of the two Performer subsystems operates independently and mutually exclusive of the other to provide two independent and mutually exclusive single page displays on the video presentation. The present invention also relates to a method for providing for video display of music responsive to the music data stored in a music database. The method is comprised of defining a page of music image data from the music database; defining ordered logical sections; storing the mapping in a memory for selective retrieval; and providing for the video display of the music responsive to the mapping and the storing.

The object of the invention is a conductor centric electronic music stand system (1) comprising a master electronic music stand (10) and one or more slave electronic music stands (50). An interactive user interface (100) for use in an electronic music stand (10 or 50) and a computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions (SI) are also provided. The conductor centric electronic music stand system (1), the interactive user interface (100) and the computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions (SI). The instructions (SI) enable the transmission of annotations and / or changes to the sheet music between the master electronic music stand (10) and slave electronic music stands (50); and to enable the master electronic music stand (10) to transmit sheet music retrieved from its storage medium (12) to one or more slave electronic music stands (50).

Disclosed is a folding sheet music stand that is capable of being folded into a very compact package. In the folded position, the folding sheet music stand is easily transportable and less susceptible to damage. A carrying bag can be used to transport the folded sheet music stand. The folding sheet music stand can be easily assembled and provides a sturdy platform for displaying folded sheet music to musicians. The folding sheet music stand is fully adjustable so that the folding sheet music stand can be used by musicians using various different types of instruments.

Disclosed herein is a music stand including, a music paper receiving frame, and a suction cup device configured to support said music paper receiving frame.

A portable electronic device integrating compact storage for a large collection of musical scores, rapid access to any score in the collection, a display adjustable for various viewing conditions and individual needs, support for annotation that preserves the original score, and simplified page turning. The device includes two touch-sensitive displays hinged together so as to approximate the familiar form of a musical score. The device opens to display two pages of music, one on each of the touch-sensitive displays. The device may be placed on a music stand or piano ledge in the same manner as a traditional musical score. Removable mass storage medium allows virtually unlimited expansion of a score collection. Menu selection and subsequent random access to selected scores result in rapid retrieval of any score a musician may require. The touch-sensitive surface of the touch-sensitive displays allows menu selection, display adjustment, page-turning, and other features at the touch of a finger, as well as non-destructive annotation at the stroke of a stylus. In sum, the device enhances the interaction between musician and musical score in ways that transform the manner of a musician's ownership and use of a large collection of scores.

An electronic musical instrument includes a keyboard having a plurality of keys, a top board located in the rear of the keyboard and having a space for placing external equipment, a music stand that is erected on the top board, and a plurality of connection terminals that are located in the rear of the music stand and on a top surface of the top board, and that are freely connected with and disconnected from the external equipment.
