Option to shorten ledger lines of certain notes (Local change of ledger line length)

Your idea

Add an option that allows the user to shorten ledger lines of certain notes or notes in certain bars. Or, to put it another way, add the ability to locally change the length of ledger lines.

Problem to be solved

Improve the layout of dense notes/chords on ledger lines.

Here is an example.

I was transcribing Rachmaninoff's Romance Op. 14 No. 11 'Floods of Spring'/'Весенние воды', of which four bars were printed as follows:

In MuseScore by default, the third and fourth bars are too wide to be on the same line. Even if the bar widths are set to the possible minimal value, the two bars will still be forced to split into two lines. This will not only waste a lot of space, but also create a huge visual density contrast with the before and after bars, which is certainly not nice.

However, by just slightly shortening the ledger lines (by 0.2sp or so) of some notes/chords, the two bars can be neatly squeezed together on the same line, which is more ideal.

Note that MuseScore currently does have the option to change the global ledger line width, but it does not help in such situations as shortend ledger lines elsewhere will affect the legibility. The shortened ledger line function should be implemented seperately and used only when necessary.

Additional context

The shortened ledger line version is also created in MuseScore 4, but takes a lot of effort. The steps are as follows:

1. Disable the auto-place of all objects.
2. Manually adjust the spacing so that the notes and accidentials do not overlap with each other.
3. Now the adjacent ledger lines will all stick together. Add some white texts with the glyph "|" to "cut apart" the ledger lines.
