- Data Sources toolbar - allows you to add and manage sources of data (time series or by linking to another scenario). You can edit or view this data once it has been loaded in the Data Sources Explorer;
- File toolbar - allows you to create a new project, opening an existing project, and saving a project (and all the scenarios within that project);
- Project toolbar - allows you to toggle view of the Project Explorer, Recording Manager, Log Reporter and Chart Recording Manager;
- Recording Manager toolbar - allows you to manage results in the Recording Manager;
- Scenario toolbar - allows you to hide or display the Schematic Editor, Data Sources, and the Node Palette panels; and

The Data Sources tab allows you to view and manage time series at one location in MUSIC X. When time series are added using the Data Sources Explorer, they are available for use throughout MUSIC X. For more details on using this, refer to Specifying data inputs.
Function Manager
The Function manager panel allows you to create, manage and maintain all functions defined in Source. Just as all data in the Data Sources Explorer is available throughout Source, all functions added in the Function manager can be used in the same wayto input data.
Node Palette
The Node Palette contains a list of icons representing the nodes that are supported by SourceMUSIC X. To create a node-link network, drag icons from this palette onto the Schematic Editor’s drawing surface.
Layer Manager
The Layer Manager (Figure 4) is mainly associated with the Geographic Editor. It is visible by default when you create a new catchments scenario. Choose if the Layer Manager is not visible. You can add new layers, and move layers up and down in order of visibility. The checkbox next to a layer’s name indicates that the layer is visible in the Geographic Editor. Note that any layers that are added or removed are not persisted in the scenario.

Recording Manager
The Recording Manager displays a list of all the recorded results from the model run or runs. Each model run has its own tab. You can sort the results by clicking the column headings. The associated with this window gives quick access to common functions.
...
Chart Recording allows you to compare the results of different scenario runs. You can change certain parameters in a scenario to see how the output is affected. Refer to Chart Recording Manager for more information on this.
Working with the Source window
Just as with standard Microsoft applications, you can adjust panels within the Source MUSIC X window. This provides great flexibility when working with very large models.
