Dave,
I've made the settings change you recommended. I can't tell you the
number of times I've gotten that same, annoying message you experienced.
Since I've never known just which situation prompted it, I can't yet
vouch for the fix, but the concept makes sense to me, too. Thank you for
reporting your idea.
Dale

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...
Dave
