| 1. A method for editing performance data using a computer system having a display, said method comprising the steps of:
controlling the computer system to display, on a screen of the display, a plurality of layers that are visually arranged in
parallel in a predetermined display order, said plurality of layers include graphical representations of note information
based on performance data, wherein each of said plurality of layers is assigned to a different type of articulation to be
added to a musical tone to be generated based on the performance data;
providing an instruction to rearrange the predetermined display order of the plurality of layers displayed on the screen of
the display;
controlling the computer system to rearrange the predetermined display order of the plurality of layers displayed on the screen
of the display; and
graphically attaching an execution icon at a prescribed position onto one of said plurality of layers that is displayed on
the screen of the display, wherein said attached icon is a graphical icon and represents execution-related data for adding,
to the musical tone to be generated, a predetermined type of articulation to which said one of said plurality of layers is
assigned,
wherein said step of attaching the execution icon causes the corresponding execution-related data to be incorporated into
the performance data being edited.
