You can detach the internal editor from the main window by its title bar and dropping it outside the main window. I can also drag it to another monitor. Would this solve your problem?
(I am sure that if the two displays have different DPI the secondary one will not adjust in size, but I hope it is still workable.)

I don't have daily access to two displays, but was able to try this just yet. A difference in resolution between two monitors seems to be problematic for a lot of apps.
When the Msc-generator window resides at the monitor with high DPI, and I detach the editor window, it becomes too big to put on the second (low DPI) monitor. When I start out with the Msc-generator window on the low DPI monitor, detach the editor and put it on the high DPI monitor, then I cannot resize the editor vertically. I prefer the editor on the low res monitor by the way.

Sigh. This is not something I can easily control. It is managed by the GUI framework I use. I have read that windows 8+ supports dynamic changes to DPI resolution (move the app from one screen to the next), but I am not sure it works for a detached editor. Also, I have a windows 7 PC and cannot try this out. So for now I postpone this.

Hi Martijn,
Did it become better with Windows 10?
