Description
I miss this especially while working on projets bigger than 200 bars.
Moving a clip from one part of the project to another requires dragiing and scrolling the view multiple times.
How I imagine this could work is - if dragging an item (a clip) in the Song Editor the view could automatically start scrolling left or right if the mouse pointer goes beyond the left or right Song Editor window borders. It's possible to move a clip in a place you can't see, so I think it'd be very intuitive if that started scrolling the view. Plus it should go faster the further you stretch beyond the border.
What do you think?

Research direction
Start by locating the Song Editor entry point and the code handling clip dragging and viewport movement. Reproduce dragging a clip beyond either Song Editor border, then determine how to verify that the view scrolls in both directions and accelerates as the pointer moves farther beyond the border.
