Score Display Page Turning for Seamless Performance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional score displaying apparatuses face difficulties in page turning operations, particularly when users need to perform complex musical phrases, as they require hand movement, leading to potential performance interruptions and inefficient screen utilization due to partial page cuts and difficulty in grasping upcoming content.
Innovation Solution
A score displaying method that allows page turning while keeping the instructed area displayed, enabling users to perform operations without interrupting their performance by maintaining the original page on screen and smoothly transitioning to the next page without cutting essential musical elements, ensuring continuous visibility and efficient screen use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the score displaying apparatus performs turn-over process by deleting the upper half of the displayed page and displaying the next page's upper half, then the user can perform turn-over operation, but the user cannot release hand from instrument to perform turn-over operation when playing difficult phrases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows the user to perform turn-over operation in advance before reaching difficult phrases. By enabling turn-over at any position rather than requiring completion of the current page, users can prepare the next page ahead of time, ensuring continuous performance without interruption when encountering complex musical passages.
2Ease of operation
If the score displaying apparatus displays the score of one page on the screen, then the user can perform turn-over operation in advance, but the grand staff or score may be cut into upper and lower parts and displayed, making it hard to see
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the score display into manageable portions while maintaining完整性 of musical elements. By controlling which portions of the score are displayed and how they transition, the system prevents cutting of grand staves or essential musical elements, ensuring that complete and recognizable score segments remain visible during turn-over operations.
3Device complexity
If the score displaying apparatus performs turn-over process in every two spread pages, then the display is simplified, but the user cannot grasp the contents of the score on the next page in advance
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the turn-over process based on user needs and performance context. Rather than following a fixed two-page interval, the system enables flexible turn-over at any position, allowing users to access next page content in advance when needed during performance, thereby maintaining both simplicity and accessibility.
4Quantity of substance
If the score displaying apparatus displays two spread pages on the screen, then the user can see more score content, but the screen utilization efficiency decreases when grand staff is cut in middle
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display qualities to different portions of the score. By intelligently selecting which portions to display and how to position them, the system maximizes screen utilization efficiency while maintaining complete and readable score segments, preventing wasted screen space from partial or cut elements.

AI summary
Once obtained a turn-over instruction to proceed a score on one image area (22) to which one grand staff among plural grand staves displayed on a screen of a user I/F (12) belongs, a controller (11) of a score displaying apparatus (1) performs a process of scrolling the image areas (22) upward on the screen of the user I/F (12), disposing the image area (22) on which the turn-over instruction is accepted at a highest level of the screen of the user I/F, sequentially aligning a plurality of consecutive image areas (22) in a forward direction on a timeline of the score with respect to the image area (22) on which the turn-over instruction is accepted below the image area (22) on which the turn-over instruction is accepted, and displaying the image areas (22) on the screen of the user I/F (12).
