ABSTRACT:
Performance data and lyric data stored in an external storage device35is read out in accordance with the progression of a song. The performance data is sent to a tone generator36, so that melody and accompaniment tones are reproduced by use of the performance data. The lyric data is sent to a display control circuit14, so that lyrics represented by the lyric data are displayed on a display unit12. The timing at which the lyrics are reproduced is determined by relative time data ΔT added to the lyric data, so that the lyrics are displayed at right positions corresponding to bar and beat positions. When a bar has lengthy lyrics, the width of the bar to be displayed on the display unit12is adjusted. As a result, the position of lyrics displayed corresponds to the progression of a song, resulting in users being capable of obtaining timing in both performing a musical instrument and singing when they sing a song while performing the musical instrument.
