486: Changes to the Navigator in Sibelius 4 and above

The Navigator has been improved in Sibelius 4. In previous versions, to continue scrolling over long distances (e.g. more than a couple of pages) you had to keep moving the mouse � if you were dragging a really long way, you may even have had to pick your mouse up from the desk, while keeping the mouse button held down, and put it down again in order to have enough room on your desk to keep scrolling! This made using the Navigator rather tiring.

In Sibelius 4 and above, the Navigator has scrolling �zones� at its left- and right-hand sides. So to scroll more than a page or two, keep the mouse button held down and move the pointer towards the edge of the Navigator, and Sibelius will start scrolling. Once Sibelius has started scrolling, you can keep the mouse pointer in the same position, and Sibelius will keep scrolling; move the mouse pointer further in the same direction and Sibelius will scroll faster.
