Auto-scroll in Continuous view jumps too far (and hides content)

• Sep 3, 2023 - 14:34

I'm using the "Continuous View" while composing, arranging, and practising. However, the auto-scrolling mode makes it hard for me to sing along, because whenever it moves to a new location, some parts of the score are hidden (because it jumps too far).

Here are three screenshots that demonstrate the problem:

  1. This is the full section that I manually center-scrolled

  2. This is how it looks during playback, before the score jumps

  3. This is how it looks after the score jumped
    after-scroll.png

Note, that the word "couldn't" is visible in neither screenshots. I guess it might have to do with an incorrect offset due to the grey clef, key signature, and time signature at the beginning.

My question or request is: can you adjust the position, where the score jumps to, such that the score only jumps so far, that the full measure that didn't fit the previous screen is visible? Additionally, it could already jump when the cursor enters the first beat of a measure that isn't fully visible on screen anymore. That would be fantastic!

It's actually called "Smooth Panning" and NO, this does not solve the problem at all. On the contrary, this "smooth" panning mode is absolutely horrible, and gives me headache because I can't read lyrics that are constantly moving, and worst of all, at an ever-changing pace.

Can you please instead just fix the position where the cursor jumps to, as mentioned in the original post?

I mean, try it yourself to follow along and sing the melody in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmH2VURxnBY. I don't even understand why the scrolling has to be so horrible... The tempo of the song doesn't change and if you really want continuous scrolling (which, again, I don't), then it would be better to interpolate the tempo with the whole measure and move at a bar-wise constant velocity, rather accepting that the cursor is not always 100% aligned, but at least the scrolling would be "smooth(er)".
