This is not easy to put into words, - but!...

Jim, as I see it, the "... no more room to auto-scroll", is bound to happen eventually, (when two or more screens equal or exceed the total width of MA3.) - But, are you still planning on, "... pressing the shift key which would freeze the position of one of the screens while scrolling the other." - as a means of adjusting the bezel gap?
I only ask because I wondered if you had checked out the method Alan has used in Dream Aquarium? - Where each screen has its image very slightly enlarged to 'lose' the width of one bezel. - If I'm understanding what is happening, correctly, - the full image is still there, it hasn't been shortened by scrolling, (we just can't see it!) - So I'm thinking that that could overcome your worry about running out of room to auto-scroll. - Assuming that is your, "... trouble with scrolling when more than one screen is present .... bad things happen when you get to the end of travel."
