Description

Describe the bug
If you delete all the text in a dynamic marking, it is not possible to undo it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a new score with a piano.
Enter enough notes to fill several measures.
Attack dynamic markings to some of these measures.
Click on one of the dynamic markings and use the backspace key to delete all the letters in it.
Click outside of the text editing area.
Press undo. The previous text will not be restored.

Expected behavior
Pressing undo should restore the text to what it was before the edit.
