At least one perspective must be open to contain the Musical Score View. As soon as an MEI Object is created or opened, the view shows up. In this area the musical scores will be displayed, that you can open from the TextGrid Repository, or create and modify with the Palette and the Outline View.
The encoded note text is displayed in a WYSIWYM View to control
the encoding properly. All changes in the document can be
undertaken in this WYSIWYG-style. The Score View is primarily meant
for the two-dimensional display of the rendering, as drag &
drop operations are disabled. Elements in the note sheet should be
modified with the assistance of the Editor’s Palette and the Outline
and Properties
View .
Single elements in the Score View as notes or rests can be selected
and appear in blue by left-click on them.
More complex interventions in the source code of an MEI document have to be conducted with the aid of the XML Editor. To open the source code of an MEI Object, please use its context menu in the Navigator and choose “Open with > XML Editor”.
