Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

Turning a rest into a tuplet leaves the first rest of the tuplet selected:

Turning a note into a tuplet leaves the first newly-created rest selected:

Turning multiple rests into tuplets (whether via list or range selection) leaves the very first rest selected:

Turning multiple notes into tuplets leaves the first rest after the last note selected:

Ideally this would be consistent, probably so that the first note or rest of each tuplet is left selected.

Equivalent behaviour has been implemented for all other toolbar operations in https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/20984; this issue has been spun off as it's connected with the gnarly and somewhat distinct matter of tuplet generation.
