So, recently I implemented a multi-page view in the notation editor. That is, unlike the old Page layout (now renamed Continuous Page), it actually shows pages side-by-side like a printed score. Not hard to do, though there are problems with a few things like managing the positions of the pointers. It's a useful piece of work for the native printing that I'm aiming at enhancing though.
But scrolling around a big 2d view like that using scrollbars is not much fun, so I took a cue from other notation software (and, er, other non-notation software) and added a panner widget. Unfortunately, I don't know where to put it. If you check out current CVS or this screenshot: http://www.cannam.demon.co.uk/thing/multipage.png you'll see that the panner widget (which will at some point show a mini version of the pages of the score, rather than just being blank with a box on it) is currently inconveniently located in a separate dialog that floats over the notation view. So, my questions: Where should it go? and How should I put it there? Bear in mind that although it's currently constrained to a fixed width (so it can get very tall in continuous page mode), the only mode in which it's _really_ useful is multi page mode and for that mode it'd be better constrained to a fixed height and allowed to become arbitrarily wide. I s'pose really what I want is a little overlay window that stays within the notation window but can be moved around on it (defaulting to bottom-right). Is that possible?
