Smooth panning is not available anymore, anoying for choir singers that whould like to see whats next and not wait pr a pageturn during playback

1) Select a score with multiple pages and Lyrics
2) Select Continious View (Horizontal)
3) Press Play

When the Cursor (Blue Bar) is at the end of the screen, it "turns" the page and jumps back to the left of the screen

This is frustrating because, you cannot see what to sing next and the pageturn and reset of the cursor to the left also distracts.

In MuseScore 3 there where enhanced settings to Enable SmoothPan,
It worked like a kind of horizontal scrollock.
When playback starts de cursor (Blue bar) moves to the center of the screen.
When it reaches the center of the screen it stops and the Score scrolls instead to the left, this way you have a clear view whats next to sing and you will never se a page turn.

For our (older) choirmembers this is a blocker to work with version 4, I understand for the development of this version missing this option is even les then a minor . But perhaps there is a quickfix or workaround that can help.

I already tried to use the settings in the old ini file
[smoothPan]
enabled=true
cursor\teleportLeft=true
cursor\teleportRight=true
cursor\visible=true

But of course that didn't work

Yes I have also found this to be extremely frustrating and can't really afford to change to the version 4 until this is resolved.
Aside from that version 4 looks great!

I am also having this issue in 4.1.1. I checked the Settings/Advanced but nothing related to pan or smooth could be found. I think you are working on this for 4.2? For me this is also a key feature. I think I will try to install Musescore 3 in the meantime. Let me know once a testing version with smooth pan is available for musescore 4. thx. keep up the great work.
