Ahhhh.  Because I didn't understand how this was supposed to work until you 
asked such a simple matter-of-fact question.

I agree with the inclination.  I have no specific intent behind it just at the 
moment though.

Hey, the Carmina Burana strikes again.  I loaded that and Rosegarden pretty 
well almost took my system down before dying.  I hadn't even done anything.  I 
have 4 GB of RAM for pity's sake.  That's sad.

So finding another big file that isn't quite *so* big, von Suppé's "Light 
Cavalry Overture" was close at hand, and throwing it into the Matrix, we see 
the full point of the Panner in all its glory.  I like it.  Yes, we have 
scroll bars, but the panner lets you zip along in both axes at once.

This effect isn't so useful in notation where unless the notes happen to go 
above or below the staff you just have this indistinguishable black line.

The new panner-goes-sideways in continuous page mode is an interesting and 
workable idea.

My only serious whine about the panner in general is that the white viewable 
area box really is very twitchy at the edges.  It should probably stop at the 
edges and that's the end of that, instead of letting you draw it into the 
void, then jumping back until you move the mouse again, where it draws at the 
new location in the void and then jumps back.  It's flickery and crappy 
looking, but not, for all that, anything I'd consider release critical to fix.
