Description
Even if the publish tab would never get any further features,
it is a great way to get an instant PDF-preview.
However: If the publish tab is not meant for writing, which it isn't,
I think, changing pitches should also be locked - at least by default,
in order to avoid accidental changes.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the Publish tab and tracing how pitch changes and score-object dragging are handled there. Done means the Publish tab prevents both kinds of accidental editing by default while still allowing the instant PDF preview.
