Well, I don't hate page view but I don't conceive music in pages either. Metered phrases is a little closer. Sometimes just timbre. Sometimes abstract relationships. Sometimes wit woids and sometimes widout. And speaking of horizontal and vertical, sometimes I'd just like to tunnel into a note to get the sound dimension. Like some direct toggle to Midi view of the whole score. > It would be great if Finale's whole relationship between page view and > scroll view were more intelligent.

Some adjustable amount of space between the affected measures so that I could handle stuff like broken slurs right then and there.
