Hej there!
Just a litte thing: I always have troubles looking at the correct Master Glyph when working with the instances preview (which I love btw). So maybe the master glyphs in the preview could be subtly highlighted?
Mh, yes, that’s the obvious question. Maybe the little dots could be colored instead (with transparency), so one could see the overlay better? Or maybe, if possible, they could switch accordingly to the top?
That’s true. Though I find it much clumsier since it doesn’t dynamically update as you step through letters, for example. (Maybe I’d use it more if I assigned a keystroke shortcut to it.)
(And there is precedent for putting masters down below, namely when “-” is selected from the instance menu, right?)
