Description

Your idea

This also came up on YT, and has actually been a major bug-bear of mine for a while (in all notation apps).
The suggestion is for something like an "apply fingering mode", where the user can navigate between notes using the arrow keys and hit the number keys to apply fingerings.
Obviously positioning would have to be carefully determined, and in many cases the user may still have to manually position fingering objects as required, but I'm sure we could be clever about establishing some sensible defaults for fingering object positions that would reduce the amount of manual work required.

Problem to be solved

Applying fingering markings is typically a cumbersome process because it involves applying objects from the palettes. For scores that require a lot of fingerings, this is especially slow and tedious.
