Any perspective has to be open to contain the Note Editor. The only way to start the Score Editor is by opening or creating an MEI document.
- Create a new MEI note sheet via toolbar
> Item > MEI
Notesheet”. Select a Project in the “Create a new TextGrid Object”
dialog box. Click “Finish” or “Next” to select a title for the new
Object. Pressing the button “Finish” causes the opening of the Note
Editor with a simple unnamed MEI document together with the XML
Editor’s Outline and Properties View. - Click on an already existing MEI Item in the Navigator View and the editor gets started.
- Via context menu: Open the XML Editor Perspective. Choose an MEI Item in the Navigator. Right-click it, choose “Open with...” > and select “MEI Score Editor”.
- By this way one can also open an MEI Item with the XML Editor in order to work with the source code.
