Abstract: In an electronic device, a speaker attaching section 17 which is vertically open with respect to a circuit board 10 and into which a speaker 16 is press-fitted is integrally formed on a contact sheet 13 arranged on the circuit board 10 provided inside an upper case 8. Therefore, the speaker 16 can be easily attached in a manner that sound therefrom does not leak, simply by the speaker 16 being press-fitted into the speaker attaching section 17 of the contact sheet 13. Accordingly, in the present invention, the structure of the speaker section 6 is simple and the number of its components is small, whereby the thickness of the speaker section 6 can be reduced. In addition, sound generated by the speaker can be favorably and reliably emitted from the speaker attaching section 17 to the outside of the upper case 8, without chattering noise being generated.

Abstract: In the present invention, a CPU detects bar lines in a musical score image to divide at each bar line, and obtains the layout range of music notes in each measure obtained by the division. Subsequently, the CPU estimates the position of each music note in the obtained layout range by using music note data, and detects a matching value and a detected position of a music note at the estimated position as position candidates. Then, the CPU excludes a musically improper position candidate from among the detected position candidates, and determines the detected position of a position candidate having the highest matching coefficient among the remaining position candidates as the position of the music note.
