Abstract: Through an operation by a user, a setting is made, for each partial musical section in a music piece, as to whether or not music piece data should be generated. In accordance with the setting, a discrimination is made between a data-generating musical section where music piece data should be generated and a non-data-generating musical section where music piece data should not be generated. In automatically composing a music piece on the basis of given musical conditions, music piece data based on the given musical conditions is generated only for the data-generating musical section, and generation of music piece data based on the given musical conditions is inhibited for the non-data-generating musical section. With this arrangement, music piece data for each partial musical section in an already-composed or existing music piece can be re-created with greatly increased ease.
