Description
Your idea
I often work in Continuous view (Horizontal) for music entry and switch back to Page view to see how it will look printed. It's a bit frustrating that when switching back and forth - the location displayed is not the same measure number.
Recommend moving focus of measure number for new view to whatever the measure currently displayed/in work on the current view type was. I guess this would make sense for vertical scrolling as well.
Problem to be solved
Improves focus and efficiency when switching between views, don't lose my train of thought having to refind my location.
Similar to request #20414, but not exactly (that's on score opening). (I personally think that would be a nice option as well)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in MuseScore: switch between Page view and Continuous View while working at a known measure, including vertical scrolling. Trace the view-switch handling and determine how the current measure is represented; done means switching views preserves the currently displayed or edited measure location.
