Description

Your idea

Working with Dorico I've found it super helpful to be able to recall many properties within text items (in fact it's as simple there as a right click). It would be useful if MuseScore had equivalent options, and could eliminate the discrepancy between text on the title frame and tag values (and consequently text appearing on headers too)

Research direction

Start by comparing how headers and footers recall Project Properties with how title-frame and other text objects handle tag values. The work is done when all text objects can access the relevant Project Properties consistently, eliminating discrepancies between displayed text and tag values.
