Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A method of processing performance data, comprising: forming performance data comprising note event data indicative of a start timing of respective notes and rests, and note pitch data indicative of pitches of said notes or indicative of said rests by absense of a note pitch therein, said note event data and said note pitch data constituting a music progression; forming barline data comprising barline event data indicative of barline timings for drawing respective barlines which appear at a predetermined time interval defining a measure for the music progression, and note pitch data indicative of pitches of the notes or indicative of the rests at respective barline timings; judging whether or not said note pitch data of said barline data indicates a note pitch, and whether or not difference in time length between said barline timing and said start timing of a note or rest of said performance data which is present immediately before or after said barline timing is smaller than a predetermined length of time; and adjusting, based on a result of said judgment, said start timing of a note or rest with respect to the barline timing.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
189 words
A method of processing performance data, comprising: forming performance data comprising note event data indicative of a start timing of respective notes and rests, and note pitch data indicative of pitches of said notes or indicative of said rests by absense of a note pitch therein, said note event data and said note pitch data constituting a music progression; forming barline data comprising barline event data indicative of barline timings for drawing respective barlines which appear at a predetermined time interval defining a measure for the music progression, and note pitch data indicative of pitches of the notes or indicative of the rests at respective barline timings; judging whether or not said note pitch data of said barline data indicates a note pitch, and whether or not difference in time length between said barline timing and said start timing of a note or rest of said performance data which is present immediately before or after said barline timing is smaller than a predetermined length of time; and adjusting, based on a result of said judgment, said start timing of a note or rest with respect to the barline timing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words
A method according to claim 1, in which: in case, as a result of said judgment, the note pitch data of the barline data represents a note pitch and the difference in time length between the barline timing and the start timing of a note of the performance data which is present immediately before said barline timing is smaller than said predetermined length of time, said start timing of said note is adjusted to fall on the barline timing in the performance date.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A method according to claim 2, in which: in case, as a result of said judgment, the note pitch data of the barline data represents a note pitch and the difference in time length between the barline timing and the start timing of a note or a rest of the performance data which is present immediately after the barline timing is smaller than said predetermined length of time, said start timing of said note or rest is adjusted to fall on the barline timing in the performance data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
85 words
A method according to claim 1, in which: in case, as a result of said judgment, the note pitch data of the barline data does not represent a note pitch and the difference in time length between the barline timing and the start timing of a note of the performance data which is present immediately after the barline timing is smaller than said predetermined length of time, said start timing of said note is adjusted to fall on the barline timing in the performance data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
A method according to claim 1, in which: in case the start timing of a note pitch data of the performance data, as adjusted as a result of said judgment to fall on the barline timing in the performance data, represents a rest and the difference in time length between said barline timing and a start timing of a note subsequent thereto is smaller than the predetermined length of time, the start timing of the latter-mentioned note is now adjusted to fall on the barline timing in the performance data.
