display mode that progressively hides verbose indications

• May 5, 2011 - 01:30

As I am working through some instructional pieces on the guitar with printed music, I keep thinking how nice it would be to drop out some of the verbose fingering and string number indications. These are great for the first few times I run through a new piece, but after a few practice runs, I find them distracting. I find myself wishing that I could have a control that would progressively hide the most obvious instructional markings until ultimately just just the concise form would remain. Possibly this is a feature best handled by some sort of plug-in, but with the support of MS core providing a way to tag/mark specific display elements with a "gradient" or "level" value to indicate a level of "instructionality" so that the plug-in would be able to locate the items that should be made visible/invisible as the user selected a different level of display.

Ultimately, it would be awesome (for me at least ;-) to score pieces like those in noad's "solo guitar playing" with MS and annotate the verbose instructional markings. That facility (along with a tablet version of MS ;-) would be killer!

"That facility (along with a tablet version of MS ;-) would be killer!"

I use MS on an HP tablet, with pen input, and it works rather nicely. Perhaps you mean a different tablet, like the iPad or Android? Or is there some tablet feature that would be killer?
