Abstract
Methods and systems for automated display of music data in a music display system. In one embodiment, a method for distinguishing lyrics and notations of a music data file is provided. In one embodiment, the lyrics are automatically shown in a different color or other display appearance relative to the notations. In another embodiment, the key of the notations is automatically determined and stored and/or displayed. In another embodiment, zoom in and zoom out capability is provided by automatically changing the font to appropriate permitted sizes, and/or by automatically determining the relative pixel spacing of the words in the lyric lines and the musical notation lines in the corresponding musical notation lines and selecting a font that maintains adequate spacing. Other inventive music display file presentation, storage, and analysis capabilities and features also are disclosed.
