Two little options come to mind that would make sense to have in preferences related to the onscreen keyboard:

1) When in playback state, don't keep highlighted whatever is selected prior to entering into playback state. In other words, instead of requiring an escape or mouse-click to remove all highlighting, an option would be nice to omit a score's note selection while in playback state.

2) Keep the last state of the keyboard after playback has stopped. E.g., if a C7 chord were being played and showing, stopping playback would not immediately clear the keyboard but let it remain highlighted until it was updated again via playback or a selection process.

Having these as options, although tiny options, would benefit me and maybe some others I'd imagine in the long run.
