"Go to" and "Sections" capability
Hi, Gang!!!
Why not to add a "Go to" button to help us to go direct to some specific measure/bar and/or part of the piece? ???
Why not to add the capability to make "Sections" in our pieces? ???
Let's say:
Section 1, "Intro", from bar 1 to 10
Section 2, "First verse", from bar 11 to 30
Section 3, "Chorus", from bar 31 to 40
And so and on...
Of course, it is intended to help us to go directly to some specific point of our pieces.
Ok, ok!!! I know we have the [Control] + [F] shortcut to search into the score. Yes! But... I'm talking about an specific button, called "Go to", in the upper tools bar.
Why not? ???
Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

The only thing I've learnt about the Ctrl+F function is that it accepts the number of the measure.
How do I make it to accept the other two?
Thanks,

Which tells you to prefix the number with a "p" for page and "r" for numerical rehearsal marks (I'd love to add "s" for section)

Are there any constrains for the rehearsal marks label?
I'm using the Roman numbering (I, II, ..X) as rehearsal marks label, but when I type in "rIII" it doesn't budge at all.
On the other side "p123" works OK.

Citing the handbook: to go to a rehearsal mark starting with a letter: enter the name of the rehearsal mark. So Just I, II, X, etc, no prefix

"Go to section" would be a ncie command, but it would be that much better if the sections could be named. Depending on how one uses them, referencing them by number might not be very meaningful.
There is a pretty recent "Go to next/previous section" command, though, that is pretty nice if you define a shortcut for it.

Yes, section number would be the pretty low-hanging fruit though. And they don't really have names, not in the sense of e.g. non-numerical reheasal marks.
Another nice one would be command to go to section-relative measures and rehearsal marks.
And I even have some code for this already, and since (far) more than a year, although still not fully ready and working
If I understand correctly, you're not asking for a new feature, just for the search box that appears when you type Ctrl+F to remain visible, and move it to the top? Note it stays open after you do the Ctrl+F, so really, it's just a matter of wanting to move it?

Hi, Marc!!!
I'm talking about an standalone button with all those capabilities.
Please!!! Is is intended to all those people that are not comfortable/customized with the "shorcuts" approach.
That's the idea.

Understood. For the record, it's also in the Edit menu. We can't realistically take every menu command and put it on the toolbar by default, it would get gigantic very quickly, That's why menus exist, after all. But it could conceivably be added to the list of command that you can add when customizing your toolbar via View / Toolbars. Feel free to submit a suggestion for that in the issue tracker.

FYI, this was driving me crazy. I was using the Find/Goto option and it used to actually Go To what I was searching for then it stopped. It would show the measure number of the Rehearsal mark I was searching for but the view would not go there. After unsuccessfully searching for a solution, I discovered that the Pan Score Automatically button needs to be engaged for the view to actually go to what you are searching for. Perhaps this can be added to the handbook?

I'd rather call it a bug that the view doesn't reposition in case of a find action, even when the Pan Score button is disabled.
