ABSTRACT:
A musical scoring system for scoring music arranged in measures. The system preferably includes a keyboard unit having a plurality of keys, a clock generator, a counter for counting clock signals generated by the clock generator and a summing circuit for maintaining a running sum of a series of quantized note, rest length values during each measure of the music to be scored. When keys are operated at the keyboard unit, a subtracting and converting means subtracts the value then stored in the register from the value stored in the counter and quantizes the result to produce a new quantized note/rest length value. This new quantized note/rest length value is thereafter summed by the summing means to the value stored in the register. Preferably, at the beginning of each measure of the music to be stored, the contents of the counter and the register are cleared and the summing means, and subtracting and converting means are provided by a central processing unit.
