Was this in Sib 5 or 6? Will it work in both? Dan?

Subject: [sib-access] Astounding! Score Position Preferences
I don't know if I'm the only one who's been suffering this all along, but no
doubt. But just in case, I stumbled across something that made editing of
staff and system text much less problematic. Dan, if you've told me this
before, then mea culpa. Okay, I've been beset with numerous occasions where
I get that infernal message "There is something selected which is not in
view. Do you want to insert your xxx next to this?" and I always answer
"yes". I've also noticed that I have to continually fiddle with the zoom
level (between 25% and 150% just to get the text item to open for editing,
when hitting the Enter key. I think I found out that this was due to the
selection/cursor being close to the edge of the display.
I went into the following dialog in the File/Preferences menu, and in the
Score Position page set the following items:
Score Position
During Input and Editing
Follow selection - checked
During note input, follow caret - checked
Center selection - checked
Avoid tool windows - checked
View whole width of system - checked
View whole height of system - checked
After setting all these, I no longer got that Item next to" message and was
able to open any text item, system or staff, at the zoom level I was in
(which in my case I keep at 62.5%).
I think the root cause of my pain was the "centered" one. It sort of makes
sense.
It's wonderful, editing now. Gotta go and write some chords...
