Description
### Enhancement Summary
I would like to have an option to view, create and/or edit music using a score editor of LMMS (no need to import / export a midi file).
This is possible for example if you use Mixcraft or other software:

https://archive.steinberg.help/nuendo_score/v12/en/cubase_nuendo_score/topics/score_editor_window/score_editor_window_r.html
### Implementation Details / Mockup
Allow multiple tabs: So you can switch between score and non-score editing options.
Example of Mixcraft:

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; it describes a broad score-editor feature for LMMS and links to Mixcraft and Steinberg examples. Start by surveying the existing MIDI and non-score editing interfaces and their architecture. Done would require an agreed scope and design for viewing, creating, editing, and switching between score and other editing modes.
