Outline View of the MEI Score Editor

last modified on Mai 04, 2016

The Outline View in MEISE has three different functions. First, it facilitates navigation in large MEI documents by providing an overview of the document’s tree-structure. Second, as in the Properties View  it is essential for editing a document because you can build your hierarchical MEI tree using drag and drop in this area, and the graphical results are shown in the Musical Score View. Finally, it offers a quick switch between the sources in the MEI document (if they exist). More detailed information is provided in the section on Using the MEI Score Editor . Every time you select an element (Measure, Note, Rest, Beam, Tie, Slur) in the Outline View via left-clicking, the corresponding element in the Score View will be highlighted in blue so that the user always knows the current location within the document.
