I always enter notes in scroll view (speedy entry), then sometimes add the articulations there, but do almost everything else in page view, so this isn't a huge issue... just a minor annoyance that seems rather unnecessary to me. I don't run into often, as I don't usually need to go that far above, but it happens. When it does, my mouse gets a little angry.

2) under the STAFF menu, in the Respace Staves dialog is a place to

top staff more room once you have started your score and have more
than one staff in place.

Does that not affect page layout, putting additional space at the top of each system?

Yes it does, but I would assume that if he can't see some of the higher elements of the top staff, they would either be outside the print area on the page or would collide with the bottom staff of the system above. In either case, I would think some more space above the top staff would be desirable.

But the question was, in scroll view, how to see those elements which are too high, and there really isn't any way except adding more space to the top of the top staff, either by dragging or by adjusting the number in the dialogue.

After all the data entry is done, that can revert to whatever he needs for proper layout if the new setting doesn't work properly.
