If the Score Structure panel is not already visible on your screen, choose Score Structure Panel... from the Tools menu to make it visible.
The Score Structure panel contains extensible rows of panes which can be used for modifying the underlying musical structure of your score or for performing some of the more advanced editing procedures. The pull-down menu at the top of the panel (entitled Available Panes) allows you to add or remove panes from the panel. A check mark in the pull-down menu indicates which panes are included in the pane and can be removed - the absense of a check mark means that pane can be added. A total of 10 panes can be stored in the Score Structure panel. In the example below, 7 panes are included in the panel.
and the Available Panes menu looks like:
You can see from this menu that three panes are not loaded into panel.:
Since each pane has between 2 and 4 tab views (which can be accessed by clicking on the tab), a total of 28 panes (or views) is available in this panel. In order to access the individual tab views, you must first ensure that the pane to which the view belongs has been added to the panel. Then you can click on the tab to display the individual controls you are looking for.
The five numbered buttons along the top of this panel allow you to store preset arrangements of the panes and save them as preferences. To store an arrangement of visible panes, hold the Shift key down while clicking on one of the numbered buttons. To recall a stored preset, click on the button and the stored configuration of panes will be loaded and displayed.
