  text: The mei-friend editor aims to address the challenges faced in the "last mile"
    of preparing MEI encodings, specifically the conversion and correction of the
    encodings through a user-friendly interface that allows users to manipulate the
    MEI encoding through an interactive rendering display. To complement these functions,
    various tools for enriching encodings with annotations and markup are currently
    under further development, allowing for the creation of high-quality digital resources
    and digital music editions. The goal is to increase the users’ abilities to manipulate
    the encoding based on selections within the visual rendering of the score. However,
    the complexity of adding support for editorial markup in MEI requires careful
    consideration of technical possibilities and project needs. This paper explores
    the needs of music editors based on user-centred approaches to understand the
    challenges of UI design and bridge the gap between user goals and technological
    systems. By considering the people, activities, contexts, and technologies involved
    in digital music editing, the aim is to develop a tool that enhances the creation
    of digital music editions while accommodating the complexities and requirements
    of the musicological research community. Interviews conducted with music editors
    as prospective users provided valuable insights into their work, informing the
    development process.
