This solution 'bridges the gap' between mastheigt and vertical scale a bit but it still leaves alot to be desired I'm afraid. Since masts are usually equidistant fore and aft of the center of the ship so may work.
I was thinking, stock SH3 had that moveable line when measuring mastheight. I'm not asking to go back to square one and do the notepad thing again, but just that moveable line as a measuring aid would help. Or has that code now become part of some other OLC gui element? Or what other reasons did you have to get rid of it? Seems a reasonable placeholder for the 'split prism horizon'.
