電子ペーパー楽譜の利便性評価

抄録

Delay just after page turning is an unavoidable and problem when music players use the traditional paper music scores. We expect electronic music scores can solve this essential problem because electronic media can offer easier page turning method for players. An electronic music score terminal using e-Paper medium was already developed and put on the market as a paperlike music score with easier page turning by touch switch or foot pedal. We compared three types of pages turning conditions: paper score, e-Paper score with screen touch page-turning, and e-Paper score with pedal operation page-turning. Continuity of keyboard play after pageturning was self-evaluated by players. The foot pedal operation of the e-Paper music score showed the smallest delay after page-turning. This result indicates the usefulness of the e-Paper music score.
