Description
Your idea
I miss the piano roll editor, it was a great feature which still needed work.
Problem to be solved
It makes it particularly easy to do certain kinds of edit and to try our new musical ideas quickly. It's also very helpful for music education.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
Musescore 3.6 had this feature already but it was axed in Musescore 4.
