Well, the horizontal ones are always below, and the vertical ones always beside. (You can also make a palette into a block-shape with the vert/horiz-limit option - this gets quite confusing, though, if the palette is docked). To fill out the space on one palette you need to move another palette (or the parts of it you want) into the first palette. This will all hinge on the minimum window width you want to use, your screen width and the size of the labels & font size you use. I don't know any way of deciding how to pack everything to suit everyone, but I hope with the tools available here an attractive window can be made to suit any user. >From your personal point of view, which buttons would you want to be there by default, and how arranged? This is perhaps a difficult question, because if one had the answer one would probably set about creating keyboard short cuts for those buttons, having thought about them so much. Personally, I have had buttons to turn on the figured bass MIDI filter and to edit the bass-figure at the cursor on my title bar (using the old mechanism of "put the command on the title bar"), but this is because I wanted to use the standard set of keyboard short cuts that Denemo ships with. If I didn't do that, they could become broken and I wouldn't know, until someone helpful (like you!) told me about it. Perhaps the most important thing is, as Eloi said, the first impression. A set of palettes and their disposition that would feel familiar to users of commercial notation programs would be good to have as the start-up configuration. Can this be done with the present tools?
