After considering different options and reading some of the ideas presented in this thread I thought I would mock something up to show some possibilities.

1) Added the # of the current chorus to the display similar to how it used to be.
2) Tried differentiating the blue chorus and part marker a's by adding a simplified repeat sign after the chorus marker and fading the part markers.
3) Added a translucent song position indicator bar overlaying the progress bar.
4) Stretched the progress bar out the full width of the display in the smaller toolbar mode and repositioned buttons on the left.


The dynamic translucent overlay is a cool idea but I think it might be better as an option. It would be great if starting the song at the beginning, but if you should start somewhere else in the song it might get a little weird.
