Is there any way to make the page scroll in Continuous View while playing, because when it comes to the right you can't see what the next chord is then it jerks back over to the left ?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a way to do this currently. I agree that it would be a handy feature and worth looking into, but I fear that low response times of LCD screens would render it unusable due to ghosting and motion-blur.

Another option might be to show a "preview" of the next page on the left-hand-side a few seconds before the entire view shifts, or even to have the playback cursor act like a car's windscreen wiper and have it "reveal" the next page as it moves across the screen. i.e. everything to the right of the playback cursor is on the current page and everything to the left (possibly minus a bar or so of buffer) belongs to the next page.

Ah, I didn't realize the link in the original post was a video. I take it you were simulating "auto-scroll" by manually doing it yourself? It seems to look OK so continuous scroll might work after all.

I already tried to develop a smooth scroll in Continuous view, but I found it was much harder to read the score and follow it since everything is moving all the time.
