Description

Your idea

Now, when you click "Create new" from some other score, "Loading new score" will appear for a second on a black background. But this is very inconvenient, because this background can merge with another. So you can add a prominent border to this text, or make the background transparent.

Problem to be solved

This idea would solve the problem that the window (if you can call it that) "Loading a new score" looks pretty ugly in this state.
