Description

Your idea

Hi! Thanks a lot for your great, enduring work!

It would be great, if it would be possible to adjust to top padding of the horizontal continous view,
or even better if there would be a dedicated area for annotations.

Problem to be solved

In MuseScore 3 I used the area above the first stave in horizontal continuous view for writing many annotations.
This is essential for my creative process.

Unfortunately, in MuseScore 4 continuous view this area became too small.
