Don't show palette in playback

• Mar 26, 2014 - 21:43

When playing back, the palette is disabled. If the continuous view and "pan while playback" are enabled, the cursor(playback indicator) moves to the left side (x = 0) when it reaches the right end of the current view, but it ignores that the palette is above the score. I am assuming thats a bug, but instead of fixing it, the palette could simply be minimized while playback. It is disabled and not needed anyway, it would free up space.

((((I don't know much about this, but maybe it would be enough to just place it below the score(z-coordinate?).))))

Is it possible to find out the state of the palette some way? I found that the action "toggle-palette" in actions.cpp just toggles the state, so it is not exactly useful for disabling(if the palette was already closed).

I'm not a big fan of moving things around when the user plays the score or not. An other music notation package goes full screen when playing back, removing palette, toolbar etc... and I have always a second of "wow, what's happening now" when it starts playing and another second when it stops and I got everything back.

Regarding the bug you are mentioning, I can't reproduce it I'm afraid. Maybe I don't understand what you mean.

In continuous view, I can still reproduce the bug. Realized that just now, sorry.

Maybe we could get some more feedback on this? I am not proposing to got full screen ;) just disabling a pixel area which is greyed out anyway. If you are not a fan of this, other people might be or not, so: maybe make it optional? that would be a possible solution.
