Undesirable screen displays
I enter almost every note using the keyboard.
When I'm entering notes and get to the last note of a measure and the next measure is not completely visible, the entire last measure I entered jumps off the screen to the left making me have to stop entering notes so I can scroll to make the last note I entered visible again so I can verify that I entered the correct note. The jump is from the "cursor" moving to the first note of the next measure. The screen with the "cursor" in it becomes the first visible measure.
When I get to the end of the screen and enter a tie the screen does not move at all unless I enter a note that does not have a tie.
None of these displays are sized so that only one measure can be seen, I always keep around 3 measures visible on my display to help me keep my place.
I would like the display to be smarter and only reveal the measure that the "cursor" moved to rather than moving that measure to be the first one displayed. I would also like measures with tied notes being added to be displayed by moving the first measure off the screen to the right to become the last measure visible.
This just makes more sense.

Maybe changing to continuous view would help???

I always enter scores in continuous view because I keep my unused systems hidden in the page view. Makes it easier to look at all the notes written in the current measure at once when I switch to page view. There is not a page turn occurring, all of the staffs are shifting or not shifting in continuous view.
Indeed, unless you are in continuous view, there is no way to guarantee it is even *possible* to display both the current note (the one you just entered) and the cursor simultaneously - they might be on different systems or even different pages. It's possible that at least in the cases where it is possible, we could tweak the behavior to try to keep both visible. Right now it indeed is pretty aggressive about giving you lots of space to work, at the expense of showing you context.
