Hi mgj, Mark

My recommendations for the new Composer are more than just a facelift but a fairly drastic change to notation editing.

To make it clear, I propose that the Screen View is replaced by another editing view or a third editing view is added to the two existing views. The central point of my proposal is to completely do away with displaying the score on pages, but to display only one set of staffs which can be scrolled by a horizontal scroll control to display any part of the score, without changing pages. Positioning the point of focus in the score would be done by scrolling, clicking on a section in an overview screen below the main editing window or by entering a measure number. The point of focus would be indicated by a vertical cursor line through the whole set of staffs with other marking lines indicating other points of interest. I believe that this would improve productivity.

Best wishes,

Herbert
