Description

Your idea

In note input mode the user uses the duration shortcut (or icon) to set the duration of the next tied note. However, for bends the "arrival" bend note is always equal to the duration of the starting note. It seems natural to make this behaviour the same as for ties, so that the user can specify the duration of the "arrival" bend note in advance.

Research direction

Start by tracing note input mode's duration shortcut or icon and the handling of bend arrival notes, then compare it with duration selection for tied notes. Done means a duration selected in advance controls the duration of the bend's arrival note instead of always matching the starting note.
