I will work backwards from your response.

"This becomes useless with ~ 70 bars" Please clarify "This". I'm assuming you mean the current Timeline Bar becomes useless when a song project is greater than 70 bars.

How will the Navigator Bar or Navigator Slider Bar make song project navigation easier?

How will the Navigator Bar or Navigator Slider Bar visualize multiple choruses?

"Other views don't have that" I'm assuming you mean a Timeline Bar. Presently the Timeline Bar is available in the Chordsheet, Tracks, Notation and Piano Roll windows so it is available in the majority of the windows.

I know a mock-up is just that, a visual presentation of an idea. I'm not attacking your ideas. I'm just trying to better understand them and to help address some of the possible pitfalls.

One possible way to enable the Timeline, Navigator Bar or Navigator Slider to be more precise would be to enlarge or magnify part of the line to display bar information such as bar numbers, part markers and chords. The how many bars per line preference setting could also determine how many bars are magnified. That way the user could move the magnifier and easily determine where they are at within a song project.
