Description
Your idea
Move the options relating to measure numbers currently found under Format/Style/Text Styles/Measure Number to the existing "Measure Numbers" option which is already found within the Style menu.

Problem to be solved
There is an unnecessarily complicated process if you wish to change more than one thing about measure numbers at once. For example, to change both size and frequency of measure numbers, you must set the frequency in the Measure Numbers style and the size as a type of Text Style.

Research direction
Start by locating the desktop Style menu and the existing Measure Numbers and Text Styles entries in MuseScore. Trace where their options are defined and verify that the relevant measure-number settings can be presented together; done means the menu is less fragmented while all existing settings still work.
