Abstract
Abstract The system consists of a microcomputer (100) and input output peripheral units (6-12) A peripheral graphic input unit (8) allows to introduce in the system the musical graphic signs relevant to notes, pauses and special indications, it also allows to introduce the instructions for the correct use of the graphic signs put in. A musical operative system permits to memorize in a floppy-disk (11, 12) the musical signs and instructions introduced; subsequently the musical operative system can interpret the memorized information and instructions and generate the graphic functions needed for the production of the original music. The graphic functions are performed through a plotter (7), or other equivalent system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
System for the automatic production of graphic music originals, including a microcomputer (100J consisting of a central processing unit (1) and a memory system (2, 3) for the memorization of data and programs, and a set of peripheral memorization and input/output units (6-12), characterized in that one (8) of said peripheral input units consists of a touch-sensitive unit (21) and a contact unit (20) which can be physically associated to various areas of the mentioned sensitive unit (21) such sensitive unit (21) including a first area (16) designed to support a music sheet for the selection of the co-ordinates of the musical graphic signs to be introduced into the music original and a second area (18) for the selection of said musical graphic signs and associated instructions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
