I have been following the discussion of the limitation on the number of staff lists, and though it doesn't have much effect on the kind of work I do, I can understand why this could present unnecessary (or not - depending on programming issues beyond my expertise) difficulties for others. The opacity of hidden objects is also a small annoyance to me, but I manage with that.

I am finding that I appreciate the changes in the expression and articulation tools. It doesn't seem earth shaking to me, but I like new way of organizing them.

And I wonder if this is only a subjective experience, but I am finding some things that seem faster. Large ensembles of GPO and JABB instruments load more quickly, for one thing. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I dreaming?

I know. This is a problem. I have been complaining about this since Fin2007.

I finally found where you change the hidden object shading percentage
(Program Options: View), but no matter how much you lighten the shading, it still does not make hidden objects transparent - which means that they will
still completely obscure everything they are on top of.

Try this: create an expression that is a single letter of a *very* large size font, and enter it in the score, use the context menu to hide it, then
drag it on top of some music. Try to lighten it so you can see what's
underneath it - it can't be done!

I am addressing the ghost problem first. You can set the shading of
the ghosts so that they are very, very faint; just enough so that you
can see them to identify them.
