Indicate the Visible Staves and Measures in Close-up Views
IWBNI there were an option to specify that the staff numbers and measure numbers of staves and measures that are visible within a given close-up view should be listed in the status bar.
This feature would be useful when using large view percentages such a 200%, 400% or 1000% for which it is often the case that staff names and measure numbers are not within view. In scroll view, the measure number indicator would be useful in the case when the hand grabber tool has been used to bring into view a measure that is after the current measure.
This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Other Program Options dialog box:

Other Program Options Dialog Box
[ ] Indicate Staves and Measures in View for View Percentages Over:
_____
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If this checkbox is selected, the numbers of the staves and measures that are in view would be displayed in the status bar whenever the view percentage is larger than the specified value. Partially visible staves and measures would be included in the list. For example, the following indicators could be displayed:
Staves: 3 Measures: 6or
Staves: 3-5 Measures: 6-7The suffix p, which stands for partial, could be appended to the first or last staff number, or first or last measure number of the ranges in the case when the view does not include the entire first or last staff or measure. In the second example given here, if only a part of measure 6 were visible and only a part of staff 5 were visible, the following information could be displayed:
Staves: 3-5p Measures: 6p-7
