The apparatus of the present invention used in the above system will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the apparatus of the present invention. The first music data output from the first music keyboard means (200) is input to the keyboard means determining means (201) and the music data storage means (202). See you again! The second music data output from the music keyboard means (205) of No. 2 is similarly input to the key-down hand throw judgment means (201), the music data storage means (202), and is further input to the macro command judgment means (204). is input.

Macro command)" storage means (205) K. Macro commands and music data corresponding to the macro commands are stored.

The keyboard means determining means (201) determines whether the music data input thereto is from the first musical keyboard means (200) or the second musical keyboard means (200).
03) and generates a keyboard means determination signal. This keyboard means determination signal is input to the reading means (206).

On the other hand, the macro command determining means (204) determines whether or not the music data input from the second music keyboard means (203) is a macro command.
The judgment is made by comparing it with the macro command stored in i (205), and a macro command judgment result signal is generated. This macro command judgment result signal is input to the reading means (206).

The reading means (206) is a keyboard means determining means (2r
11) rs 1
Based on Mochi Shinkai r, if the music data input this time is from the first music keyboard means (200), read the music data input and stored this time in the music data storage means (202). musical score data storage means (20
7). Also, based on the keyboard means judgment signal, if the music data input this time is from the second music keyboard means (203), it is read out according to the macro command judgment result signal input from the macro command judgment means (204). The means work as follows. If the macro command judgment result signal indicates that the music data input this time is not a macro command,
The reading means (206) reads out the currently input music data from the music data storage means (202) and stores it in the musical score data storage means (207).

The musical score data storage means (207) inputs and stores the musical score data.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing how music data is stored in the musical score data storage means as described above, in which the music data is inputted at Sl, and this music data is stored in the music data storage means at S2. Next, in S3, it is determined whether the music data input this time is from the first music keyboard means, and if it is from the first music keyboard means, the music data input this time is input from the music data storage means in S4. The input music data is read out and stored in the musical score data storage means in S7. Further, if the music data input this time in S3 is not from the first music keyboard means, S
In step 5, it is determined whether or not this music data is a macro command. If the music data is a macro command, in step S6 the music data is read out from the macro command storage means, and in S7 a series of music data corresponding to the macro command is stored in the score data storage means. Music data! Make me remember. If it is determined in S5 that this music data is not a macro command, the music data input this time is read out from the music data storage means in S4, and stored in the score data storage means in S7. The storage work in the data storage means is performed for one cycle, and it is determined in S8 whether the work is completed or not. If the work is not completed, new music data is inputted in step 81 and the next cycle begins.In S8 When the work is completed, the process ends.The series of music data sequentially stored in the score data storage means as described above becomes score data.

The musical score data thus stored is outputted by the output means (208) shown in FIG. 1 and inputted to a host computer or other processing device.
