The notation window has it's own preference menu -- three little bars right next to the N(otation). click on that. There's a sub-menu 'display'. You can change the behavior there. I go back and forth. Sometimes I like the column view, sometimes I don't.

Thanks for this! now it makes sense as to why it's happening at all. And glad to hear that 960 implementation is coming up. regarding the dark theme, i had done this myself a while back, right around when the original dark theme went live (unbeknownst to me)(dug through all the tcl files and found the values to change). That color scheme was a lot darker. The current one is almost identical to what I had come up with--happy coincidence for me because it meant that I could just switch over. As far...

i have just noticed the screenshot is wrong. my bad. I'll update it when i get out of bed.

what in the world?... both the notation AND the screenshot are literally in the initial post. scid happens to be highly customizable. setting the notation window to column view is just a preference. i imagine this isn't necessarily something that'll affect every system. but it's happening on mine. whatever the reason, I'd like to find out why (or have it fixed). even if it's something i can change on my particular configuration. to clarify with regards to my OS, it's debian bullseye. not a derivative...
