I just tested this. While a redraw shows items beneath (but not staff
lines!) in 2008, the object is still completely opaque in 2009. This
behaviour appears to have been changed, to the detriment of the
program, I think.

I don't have 2009 yet, but tried this in 2006 to see if things have
changed.
Hidden objects are transparent for notes but are not transparent
for staff,
time sig., etc. I did notice that after I moved the object on
screen it
then blocked the view of the notes it was placed over, but that was
easily
corrected with a redraw.
Didn't know if a redraw would affect the test in 2009.

I finally found where you change the hidden object shading percentage
(Program Options: View), but no matter how much you lighten the
shading, it
still does not make hidden objects transparent - which means that
they will
still completely obscure everything they are on top of.
Try this: create an expression that is a single letter of a *very*
large
size font, and enter it in the score, use the context menu to hide
it, then
drag it on top of some music. Try to lighten it so you can see what's
underneath it - it can't be done!

I am addressing the ghost problem first. You can set the shading of
the ghosts so that they are very, very faint; just enough so that

can see them to identify them.
