| 6. A performance data editing apparatus containing a display comprising:
a controller for displaying at least one layer in a window on a screen of the display;
an operator being operated by a user for attaching an execution icon corresponding to execution-related data onto the layer
and for moving the execution icon of the layer, wherein the execution-related data constructs a part of performance data;
a detector for detecting an event in which the execution icon is moved; and
an executor for upon detection of the event, when the execution icon is moved outside of the window, then deleting the execution-related
data corresponding to the execution icon from the performance data, and when the execution icon is moved close to an end of
the window, then controlling the computer to scroll the display of a portion of the window without deleting the execution-related
data corresponding to the execution icon,
wherein said attached execution icon represents execution-related data for adding a predetermined type of articulation to
a musical tone to be generated based on the performance data, said predetermined type of articulation causes the musical tone
to be generated in accordance with a specific performance technique, and
wherein the attachment of the execution icon causes the corresponding execution-related data to be incorporated into the performance
data being edited.
