Hide the Main Menu to the Left

• Jan 10, 2023 - 13:57

Maybe it could be like you can do with Word: just push to left to semi hide => hide.
Re push edge line to re get?

Good idea!
MS3 had an adjustable border, though the area could not be "hidden".
MS4 border is completely locked in place.

It would be nice to hide/unhide to show more music on the page - especially during playback.

Or when hidden, a small expand icon shows:

What if plugin renders itself in the left pane (if that will be still possible option in MS4)? Then it would be beneficial to users not only to hide the left pane but also to have an ability to control it's width.

In case it isn't obvious, the side panels can be opened or closed at will, via the View menu or shortcuts F7/F8/F9 for instruments, properties, palettes.

That's right, panel will disappear when all of its constituent views are disabled. However, that's tedious the more views that must be toggled.

Therefore, the panel should be hideable. All of the other applications that I can think of with similar panels/views have hideable/minimizable panels.

I'm pretty sure we're in sync on this but I wanted to clarify.

I have limited screen space so spend a lot of time in Musescore closing and re-opening all the side panels. Having to do this one by one is very time consuming and some don't even have keyboard shortcuts by default (eg selection filter). After having hidden them, I then have to manually re-enable each panel that I want to use, which takes more time.

I would like to be able to use a single shortcut to toggle visibility of all the panels shown on the left of my screen, allowing me to hide and then restore them all quickly and easily.
