The electronic musical score device has a configuration wherein: for each display, at least one page turning operation part for page turning is provided to a frame surrounding the display region of the display; a page turning direction is set for each page turning operation part; and the page-turning direction of each page turning operation part is displayed on the frame surface corresponding to the page turning operation part so that it is possible for the user to visually identify the page turning operation part, thus guiding the user to the page turning operation part corresponding to the page turning direction when performing a page turning operation.

Abstract: An electronic musical score apparatus 1 includes display units D1, D2 connected to each other to be openable and closeable, and can convert a writing made on display portions 11, 12 by a user into annotation data 1, associated with musical score page data but being manageable separately from the musical score page data, and store the annotation data 1. When an image of the associated musical score page data is displayed together with an image of the annotation data 1 on the display portions 11, 12 and then the user rewrites the annotation data 1, the electronic musical score apparatus 1 can provide a write history for the annotation data 1 by storing the annotation data 1 before the rewriting as first-generation annotation data 1 and storing the annotation data 1 after the rewriting as second-generation annotation data 1.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting font size in an electronic program guide display are provided. A multiple channel broadcasting system generates an electronic program guide identifying channels and corresponding programs in a broadcasting system. The broadcast system determines a number of characters to be displayed in an area of an electronic program guide. The broadcast system determines a number of display pixels available for display of the characters. The broadcast system adjusts the font size of the characters to display the number of characters within the number of pixels available.

Abstract: An innovative but easy line guide is provided to provide the user of a multiple channel television broadcast system a wealth of programming information in a simple format that is easy to understand. The guide enables the user to easily select a particular program to watch. In e particular, the system provides an innovative mechanism to enable the user to scan program information of channels that the user has designated as his favorite channels. A button is provided that is designated as “favorite”. When the user is in a broadcast guide and selects the button, the system responds by displaying program information regarding the favorite stations at the top of the guide. Thus, the user sees at the top of the list the current programming with respect to his favorite stations, followed by program information for the remaining stations.
