1. An application stored on a mobile electronic device comprising a touch screen display that includes a capacitive sensing medium, one or more processing devices, and one or more non-transitory storage devices for storing instructions for the application, wherein execution of the instructions by the one or more processing devices causes the mobile electronic device to:
generate, on the touch screen display of the mobile electronic device, a gesture-driven composer environment that facilitates the creation of a digital music composition based on gestures detected via the capacitive sensing medium, wherein the gesture-driven composer environment is configured to:
detect, via the capacitive sensing medium of the touch screen display, the gestures for defining and inserting lyric notations corresponding to the digital music composition;
detect, via the capacitive sensing medium of the touch screen display, the gestures for defining and inserting chord notations corresponding to the digital music composition;
determine alignment information that correlates positioning of the chord notations relative to the lyric notations;
store the chord notations, the lyric notations, and the alignment information with the digital music composition; and
update the touch screen display to visualize the chord notations and the lyric notations in a manner that visually aligns the chord notations and the lyric notations; and
in response to detecting a selection of an audio playback option, translate at least a portion of notations stored with the digital music composition to analog audio signals to facilitate playback of the digital music composition.
