Description

Your idea

When changing the repeat style in the properties panel, it should only affect the selected barline, rather than toggle the style for the whole score.

Problem to be solved

I have a set or repeats that might be tricky to find in a hurry, so I was going to add wings to just that repeat in the score, but clicking the button to change this affects all the other repeats in the score, which firstly surprised me, as most things in the properties panel affect only the current selection rather than acting as a shortcut to a setting in the style dialog, and second is not what I was trying to achieve.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the repeat-style change from the properties panel with one barline selected, then verify whether the action changes every repeat in the score. Done means changing the repeat style affects only the selected barline while other repeats remain unchanged.
