In my opinion they are very annoying if you click on them accidentally, especially when it's in a file i got from someone else. > If at any point of time file size is a problem > for any given person, he can reduce it himself. > > You propose making life tough for a majority of people just to save file > space for a preferred use modus of yourself.

Well, there's a concept of "preview mode" and "publish mode" in Frescobaldi (the second one produces pdfs without point-and-click). The idea is that when you finish your work, you use "publish mode" to create final pdf. You may say that point-and-click alone is not worth having two modes, but there are more things that could be used there (for example, preview mode could display slur control points). Anyway, i think this discussion is going nowhere, so i'm dropping the issue.
