Since version 2.3 (MFC GUI) or 7.0 (CLI GUI) Msc-generator has an internal text editor integrated with the GUI. Via tracking mode, you can quickly jump to a particular element in the text, but can also quickly see, what is the result of a specific line.
In the MFC GUI there is a separate Ribbon category governing options for the internal editor. On its first pane you can toggle if you want the current line highlighted and/or line numbers displayed. The other features of the internal editor are explained below. If you accidentally close the internal editor, use the ‘Text Editors...’ button on the Edit pane of the Home category to turn it back on.
The CLI GUI supports the same features, but has less customization options (in Settings
)
for simplicity.
