Rethink the way multipart compositions are shown in "Playing Now" (?)

Not really a “feature” but more of a request to maybe rethink the way multipart compositions are being displayed in the playing now screen of the Roon UI. The attached example (Schönberg’s Gurrelieder) has 23 parts. This causes the bottom part of the Playing now screen to take up a lot of space with a cluster of “part boxes” on the bottom right. As a result, the remaining screen property, e.g… to show lyrics is significantly reduced.

May be for anything with more than 8 parts (ie one row of boxes), it is easier to just show the position (eg. Part 9 of 68 or similar? Or just show the three dots so the user can open that parts-window to see the full list, for operas, oratorios etc with sometimes up to 90 tracks). The default part-boxes of 24 seems a bit much to me.

Thanks for giving this some consideration…
