General User Interface

I recently got my knuckles rapped for describing the user interface in MuseScore as 'dreadful'. I was advised to make specific posts about specific issues. I have no desire to duplicate points that have already been made by others, but the number of posts on the site and the mass of results one now gets from even complex sets of search terms mean it is difficult not to say things that have been said before. With this caveat in mind...

It would be great to be able to switch between an input interface, which holds the currently selected and adjacent measures fairly steady on the screen, allowing input of notes to a slowly moving (left-right) window, and a layout interface, which paginates the score in the same way as the present interface.

At present, the whole window jumps backwards and forwards, up and down even when a mere accidental is added or removed, because the software adjusts the page layout of the score after every single input. This makes creation of scores very frustrating. If one is inputting to the last bar on a page the following bar is often invisible (you have to move on with the navigator); and once an input has been made to first or last bars the whole page commonly leaps backwards and forwards: very confusing to use.
