Abstract

Dynamic user-defined stave filters enable users of scorewriter software applications to generate de-condensed musical parts from condensed scores. When a stave filter is applied to some or all of a stave displaying multiple types of musical element, one or more of the musical element types are hidden from view. Stave filters remove from display note and/or non-note element types. Filtered staves are linked to corresponding unfiltered staves such that compositional changes in a condensed score are reflected in the linked de-condensed staves. Uses include generation of individual parts from a score or generation of different orchestrations or arrangements. Filtered staves are drawn in an intelligent fashion to ensure that musical data are displayed in a musically valid form that conforms to stylistic conventions.
