Description
Describe the bug
When using things like strings in a score, there is no way to set where the sounds for techniques like pizzicato, spiccato, tremolo, etc. should come from.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Have separate soundfonts for arco and pizz
- Load one onto a string staff
- Add pizz marking
- See that there is no way to control the sound for the pizz in any way
Expected behavior
There should be some way to control where Musescore pulls the pizz or otherwise from
