Description
Your idea
It would be helpful to allow default positioning settings for ottavas' text. Either from within the style window or by exposing these values to the properties panel and setting them from there.
Problem to be solved
Offsetting ottava text by default would be especially helpful to change the relative height to the ottava's line, as MuseScore's default settings don't fully align with my personal preferences.
