Description
Describe the bug
The default time stretch in MU 3 was 100%. In MU4 it was changed to 200%. Having a default time stretch of anything other than 100% is a great inconvenience when there are fermata on multiple instruments as Musescore honours the longest of them. If a duration shorter than default 200% is required then the time stretch on ALL of the simultaneous fermata have to be shortened for the shortening to take effect in playback.
Additional context
Default was changed as a "fix" for this closed issue #13464

Research direction
Start by tracing the MU4 fermata time-stretch default and review closed issue #13464 for the change that introduced it. The issue is done when the default behavior no longer causes this MU3 regression and simultaneous fermata playback follows the expected duration behavior.
