Description

Issue type

UI bug

Bug description

"LH guitar fingering" objects and "Fingering" objects are given the same name in the status bar –"Fingerings". This is both incorrect and causes problems when updating style properties, because the user needs to know exactly what style s/he is updating.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a few notes.
  2. Apply a "LH guitar fingering" number to one note and a "Fingering" number to another.
  3. Now select one then the other fingering and observe the left-hand side of the status bar.

ACTUAL RESULT: Both types of fingering are titled "Fingerings" in the Status bar

EXPECTED RESULT: The title in the status bar should match the actual name of the style.

Note that this not a new bug but in MS3 it didn't matter because the style name was visible in the Inspector at all times. However in MS4, this is a problem because the style name is hidden behind the "More" button of the Text section of the Properties panel.
