Abstract

A display device includes a display and a processor. The display displays one piece of a plurality of pieces of information and does not display two or more pieces of the plurality of pieces of information simultaneously. The processor causes the display to preferentially display a second piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information rather than a first piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information in accordance with a set priority order. The first piece of information corresponds to a performance operation of a user, and the second piece of information assists a performance of the user.

First claim

1 . A display device comprising:
a display that displays one piece of a plurality of pieces of information and does not display two or more pieces of the plurality of pieces of information simultaneously; and a processor that causes the display to preferentially display a second piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information rather than a first piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information in accordance with a set priority order, the first piece of information corresponding to a performance operation of a user and the second piece of information assisting a performance of the user.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display includes a plurality of light emitters disposed side by side in a first direction, and wherein the processor controls each of the plurality of light emitters to be on or off to display the plurality of light emitters with a display pattern of display patterns corresponding to the respective pieces of information.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pieces of information includes a third piece of information pertaining to a setting of an electronic musical instrument.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of pieces of information includes a fourth piece of information pertaining to power-on or power-off of the electronic musical instrument.

5 . The display device according to claim 4 , wherein in the set priority order, the fourth piece of information is higher than the third piece of information, and the third piece of information is higher than the second piece of information.

6 . An electronic musical instrument comprising:
the display device according to claim 1 ; and a performance operation element.

7 . A display control method that is performed by a computer of a display device including a display that displays one piece of a plurality of pieces of information and does not display two or more pieces of the plurality of pieces of information simultaneously, comprising:
causing the display to preferentially display a second piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information rather than a first piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information in accordance with a set priority order, the first piece of information corresponding to a performance operation of a user and the second piece of information assisting a performance of the user.

8 . The display control method according to claim 7 ,
wherein the display includes a plurality of light emitters disposed side by side in a first direction, and wherein the computer controls each of the plurality of light emitters to be on or off to display the plurality of light emitters with a display pattern of display patterns corresponding to the respective pieces of information.

9 . The display control method according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of pieces of information includes a third piece of information pertaining to a setting of an electronic musical instrument.

10 . The display control method according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of pieces of information includes a fourth piece of information pertaining to power-on or power-off of the electronic musical instrument.

11 . The display control method according to claim 10 , wherein in the set priority order, the fourth piece of information is higher than the third piece of information, and the third piece of information is higher than the second piece of information.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes, of a display device including a display that displays one piece of a plurality of pieces of information and does not display two or more pieces of the plurality of pieces of information simultaneously, a computer to:
cause the display to preferentially display a second piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information rather than a first piece of information included in the plurality of pieces of information in accordance with a set priority order, the first piece of information corresponding to a performance operation of a user and the second piece of information assisting a performance of the user.
