MEI Score Editor --MEISE

The MEI Score Editor (MEISE) is an Eclipse-based client software for viewing and editing MEI-encoded music documents in CMN (Common Music Notation), facilitating proof reading as well as modifying and correcting MEI files. MEISE was designed to satisfy special requirements of research in musicology, currently unsupported by existing music notation software tools. MEISE should be used especially for working with MEI-data as a processing and editing tool, e.g. for creating variants, generating, completing and modifying MEI-files. As a key merit, MEISE gains of its homomorphic internal data structure to the MEI schema tree, allowing for native support for theoretically all MEI encoding principles. This allows for some unique features arising from the field of scholarly music edition, such as the encoding and visualization of variants of different musical sources in one digital MEI representation.
