In the Scores tab you can create new scores, edit, delete, export, import, copy and paste scores. The Scores tab also has the option to create example scores using the Build Example button. Once you create a new score, you will need to create new score bins, and edit their settings before you can use the new score.

How Scores Relate to Styles

Each bin can have its own style properties. Scores use styles to assign colors, fonts, etc. to different score value ranges. Therefore, it is a good idea to create the styles to use with new scores first.
