Hi, when I restart Denemo with Continuous Typesetting Off the Print
View window doesn't appear. Unfortunately it comes back as soon as I
type something in a pop-up. In that case the Print View is grey, i.e.
there's no score (obviously) but still it comes back to focus on the
foreground, on top of the Denemo Display. Also, the Print View window
doesn't remember its position when restarting Denemo, but it always
comes back on the left-hand side. Is that the intended behaviour?

Click and shift-click on a note in the Print View works (switch to
Denemo Display and playback / cursor on that note).
