Why would I? Everything is readable at that point.

I don't think I ever said I wasn't.

Oh, perhaps you are a full-time composer?
I actually have a "real" job and can only compose during snippets of spare time.
For instance, if I make a change to a global header file, when I recompile, it takes 15-20 minutes. That gives me the opportunity to switch to Finale and add a few bars. But I have to monitor email, IM and the compile status. I need to see some part of all the windows at once.

I agree, if that was the only thing you are doing. Since I am always doing multiple things at a time, I always switch the screen size when changing modes. Since that is such a drag, i usually don't switch modes, until I have more time to fool around with whole page stuff.

That seems like a good goal.
I have used Unix X-Windows and it is the worst windowing stuff I have ever seen. I have also tried to write GUI applications in Java, and it is a hopeless cause.
