Description

Describe the bug

There are two ways to hide a tuplet number/bracket. If you make it invisible (V) you can find it again as long as "Show invisible" is ticked (View).

However, if you set Number/Bracket type to "None" you cannot select the tuplet number/bracket again after deselecting it..

In MS3 there was a UI component at the bottom of the Inspector which allowed you to select a tuplet bracket/number, even if hidden, from the note itself:

select_element

There is no such feature (AFAICS) in MS4. In addition Alt+ left/right does not select tuplet number/brackets.

Expected behavior

Even if you set the tuplet number/bracket to "None", there should be a way to navigate to it; perhaps from the parent note like MS3.
