          Appeal No. 95-2990                                                           
          Application 08/147,907                                                       

          computer displays in staff notation the music being played by                
          the computer.                                                                
                    We disagree with the examiner’s finding that Sasaki                
          suggests displaying an indicium on a computer screen to elicit               
          a note from an instrument player.  Because that finding is at                
          the heart of the rejection and the other references do not                   
          overcome the deficiency, we will not sustain the rejection of                
          claim 24.                                                                    
                                      CONCLUSION                                       
                    The rejection of claim 25 is sustained.  The                       
          rejection of claims 22-24 is not sustained.
