Dear Chris, Okay, so recoloring the staff lines will not work--easily. So forget about it. The staff lines should stay black since we attempting to emulation sheet music notation on some level and we've had strong arguments made as to why we should not "color" notes differently. So I assume that means other elements of the notation view as well.

Sorry, I don't quite understand what this affects, does it affect our RG screen or just the lily pond output? Since we can zoom in and out of the page, I'm not certain what differnce this makes. But I could be missing the boat on this. Michael is probably a better person to have that discussion with. Not that I'm not willing, but you'ld have to explain it all to me first. In which case you'd probably have figured out the answer. I've historically only used RG's notation view for small trivial part learning from MIDI files. So I've never delved into it feature set much. Well, I did get quite a crash course though with the NoteRestInserter Tool. ... But, at this point maybe just altering the scaling a bit might make reading the panner easier. This would work for continuous layout and linear layout, but the panner's vertical distance will need to grow to accommodate the mulitple page view if the scale is adjusted. But since you already are switch other aspects of the panner via the new slots, this could be done as well.
