Overview
Score editors allow to visualize, listen to, modify, or create instances. Each score object - note , chord , chord-seq , voice , poly - has a specific score editor. Editors open with a double click on a factory box.
The displaying and parametric values of a note object can be controled directly via its editor.
Score objects are organized in a simple hierarchy with growing levels of complexity, like in a matriochka. From the note to the poly , the panel of score editors shows a growing number of editing tools. All editors follow the paradigm of the note editor.
