The cursor in continuous view becomes hidden behind the greyed clefs, key signatures, and time signatures as a score progresses, which blocks out some notes and makes it difficult to sight read.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open a score that's longer than about 8 bars in Musescore 4

2) Set view to Continuous View

3) Play the score and wait for the cursor to reach the end of the viewable area

Expected result:

When the next part of the score is shown, the cursor appears ahead of the clefs, key signatures, and time signatures, without being hidden behind them.

Actual result:

The cursor is missing for a few beats when it reaches the end of the viewable area and the score progresses. GIF of the issue is attached.

I support this request as well. When I present scores to my students in continuous view, the transition causes the initial part to be obscured by a ghost clef, leading to confusion among my students. Intriguingly, this issue was absent in Musescore3. Although exporting to musicXML and then importing into Musescore3 is an option, it's quite cumbersome.
