Re-laying the palette
I wanted to know what the opinions were about how the icons in the palette are laid out, because I think it appears uneven.
Some are presented in a row of 6 (Frames), 4x3 (Symbols) and 6x2 (Beam Properties), etc - the size of the icons varies too. I also wonder whether there should be empty boxes - instead, the icons should spread. Some may prefer the icon size to remain the same in each - it could depend if you have a personalised set, though.

Are we talking Trunk or branch here??
Both, I suppose.

I think it should remain how it is - customisable to how you want each palette to look.
You can set each palette to have the size of icon you want, and also the width of the paletter, and thus control over columns and rows.
I don't object to what function you want stored in the palette - just some aspects of how it's laid out, which I don't think is customisable.
For example: In 'Tremolo', you have ten boxes, but only eight icons - space wasted (especially if I arrange the top to have 'through stem' and bottom 'between notes').

But if you set the icon width on the tremolo palette to 40 you get two rows of 4 icons, either that or widen the entire palette so all eight fit on one row.
That's in Nightly Build R5291

Where do I do that?

left click and hold on the Palette Header - then choose Properties from the menu that opens.
You can widen the palette by dragging when the pointer turns into an arrow with vertical bars.

Thanks.
The lines of the boxes are still stationary though.
I wish there was something a little quicker that controlled multiple elements.

What I would really like to see is the ability to undock a single palette and move it to the work area - this would be useful when editing beams for example.

would be useful.
I would like to have the palettes re-orderable as a default position.
