• select a filter to be applied to the selected portion of the second stave, wherein application of the filter by the scorewriter software application removes from view in the second stave a first element type of the plurality of element types of the musical data that is displayed in the first view.

A scorewriter computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer-readable instructions encoded thereon, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when processed by a processing device instruct the processing device to perform a method of displaying musical data, the method comprising:
• receiving musical data representing a musical project;
• displaying the received data as a first view of the musical data, wherein the first view incudes a stave displaying a plurality of element types of the musical project;
• enabling a user of the scorewriter computer program product to define a first filter to be applied to the first view of the musical data, wherein application of the first filter generates a second view of the musical data by removing from the first view a first element type of the plurality of element types of the musical data that is displayed in the first view;
• applying the first filter to the first view of the musical data to generate the second view of the musical data;
• and
• displaying the second view of the musical data.

A system comprising:

• a memory for storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor, when executing the computer-readable instructions, causes the system to perform a method displaying musical data, the method comprising:
• at a scorewriter software application executing on the system, receiving musical data representing a musical project;
• using the scorewriter software application to display the received data as a first view of the musical data, wherein the first view incudes a stave displaying a plurality of element types of the musical project;
• enabling a user of a scorewriter software application to define a first filter to be applied to the first view of the musical data, wherein application of the first filter generates a second view of the musical data by removing from the first view a first element type of the plurality of element types of the musical data that is displayed in the first view;
• using the scorewriter software application to:
• apply the first filter to the first view of the musical data to generate the second view of the musical data;
• and
• display the second view of the musical data.
