Description

Your idea

MuseScore has fantastic options for reconfiguring palettes. I've created my own extensive master palette which works very efficiently for me, and it saves me from scanning through palettes and items I rarely use.

But I could keep my palette even more organized with line breaks or empty cells ... at the slight expense of some empty space.

In the following image note that the last cell in line 1, 3 and 5 are empty, resulting in nicely stacked items among the various lines of items.

MuseScore Palettes with Line Breaks and empty cells

Problem to be solved

Better organization in palettes, both one's own custom palettes and standard stock palettes that MuseScore provides.

Research direction

Clarify whether line breaks or empty cells are required for custom palettes, stock palettes, or both; done means palettes preserve intentional gaps and display the requested alignment.
