1. An electronic music display device comprising:
- input means for inputting music score data;
memory means for storing the inputted music score data;
control means for segregating the music score data into sections by allowing a user to select said sections and for programming said sections into a performance sequence in accordance with a desired performance determined by said user;
display means for displaying the music score data; and
actuating means in communication with the control means for advancing the display of the sections in accordance with the performance sequence, wherein said sections can be played in any particular order as determined by said user, including a non-sequential forward or reverse order within the music score data.

Abstract
An electronic music display device having a scanning device for inputting music score image data from a printed musical score. A memory device receives and stores the inputted music score image data. The data is segregated into sections and a performance sequence is programmed whereby a performer can program repeats and forward or backward skips in the music score image data. A display displays at least two pages of the music score image data. An actuator is manipulated by the performer to progress the display to display the sections in accordance with the sequence. Upon each manipulation of the actuator a pre-programmed part of the musical score is displayed. The performer is thus able to smoothly progress between pages of the score, repeat previously preformed parts, and skip to a different part of the score by merely pressing the actuator.
