in panaroma mode I want to horizontally scroll the score via mouse control but without the use of scroll bars.

If I use the mouse it actually displaces the score both vertical and horizontally. I often just want to scroll horizontally i.e. I'm working on a particular stave, the current use of the mouse means that my eyes have to deal with vertical displacement which is annoying and takes my eyes off the notes in question.

Is there a way thru a key combination perhaps to lock the vertical axis while I use the mouse in panorama mode to navigate ?

thanks

Shift + middle mouse button (scroll wheel) is set up to do this. Ctrl+scroll wheel does zoom. Scroll wheel on its own just does vertical scroll (believe it or not!).

ah, this is where my trackball may be letting me down, I'll go ahead and hook up a second mouse with a scroll wheel and make sure I understand what's available to me from it.

thanks
