When editing scores I find uncomfortable that after I enter the last note on the last staff of a page, the pointer jumps horizontally and vertically to reach the beginning of the next page. It would be way easier if the following page would follow (pardon the pun) the latest one, so that the previous staff could still be visible.

Searching through the forums I found this Feature Request https://musescore.org/en/node/38866 where the last comments https://musescore.org/en/node/38866#comment-471886 tells that a preference exists.

First of all, I'd like to say it was not so obvious where to look for that feature, plus it could easily be a randomly chosen way to view scores - as I said when editing vertical pages can be easier, but when playing I think it is the opposite - so see more like a program execution setting, that may change from session to session.

So this it so suggest the addition of a button or similar control to the toolbar (like those found e.g. in PDF readers) to change Scroll Page direction.

Of course among the Preferences that setting can still be the user default direction.
