Retain element type's "view" of properties between selections

Your idea

At the moment, the properties do retain the view if the user immediately selects the same type. For example,

1. Select a fingering text
2. Click "Appearance" in properties. Later
3. Click another fingering text
   The result will show the "Appearance" section as activated. This seems good.

However, if the user selects nothing after 2) and then clicks another fingering, that properties view is lost back into default options. Personally, I think it would be better if it was retained.

I'd even venture to say it would be even better if you could retain views between different element-type selections. That is to say, for example say you selected a note-head and then opened up the "Beam" area, then later clicked a fingering text, then click back onto a note-head again. At this point, it would be nice if the beam area was still activated.
