Mode-specific settings for enabling/disabling automatic score panning

Your idea

I would like to have settings for enabling and disabling automatic panning/scrolling of the score, separated by what mode the application is in, roughly like this:

• Allow automatic canvas movement in input mode
• Allow automatic canvas movement during playback
• Allow automatic canvas movement when not in input mode or playback

Problem to be solved

I sometimes work in blocks where I fill only a couple of bars instrument by instrument, and align the bar lines just inside the viewport. Every time I've completed one instrument, the canvas is yanked away because the next bar (where the next input note would be) is not completely visible.

This can be quite disorienting and annoying. I understand why this is the default behavior but would like to have a setting to override it.
