Sib. 7.5: Happy accident scrolling workaround
Posted by DinoDino - 01 Sep 03:03PM
We all know that, even in 7.5.1, drag-panning a large score in panorama is still SOOOOOO slow. Weirdly, I found something interesting that's sort of a workaround.

If you open another version of the score(I assume any other large score would work the same) and leave it open in the background, the score you're currently working on starts performing way better in terms of the drag-pan.

I assume this has to do with the fact that the RAM is drawing the score twice, so a lot of the data is already "drawn" in the software as you pan to access it. But I'm not a computer guy so that's just speculation.

I also assume you need a pretty fast computer for this not to have a negative effect. But anyone with current or last-gen hardware give it a try and let me know what you think.

Also, I think it's best to have the background score zoomed all the way out but I haven't done a lot of trial and error yet.
