Description
Describe the bug
The behaviour for adding a repeat to a range of bars could be more useful.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Select multiple bars
- Click
Left (start) repeat signin the barlines palette - Result: The start-repeat barline gets added to each selected bar:
Expected behavior
I do not see a use case where this behaviour would be useful. I would expect that choosing a start-repeat or end-repeat barline from the palette with a range of bars selected results in a start-repeat barline being added to the beginning of the selection, and an end-repeat barline being added to the end of the selection, like so:
Platform information

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by selecting multiple bars and choosing the Left (start) repeat sign from the barlines palette. Trace the palette action and range-selection handling in the MuseScore desktop application, then verify that a start repeat is placed only at the selection's beginning and an end repeat only at its end.
