Description

Your idea

The loop markers should be made movable when dragging them with the mouse. If there are already shortcuts to this, well, I'm not really sure which are them. I also noticed that 'Set loop marker left/right' from 'Playback settings' are quite bugged..

Problem to be solved

When toggling 'Loop playback', the loop markers should be made draggable with the mouse in order to reposition them easily.

Research direction

Start by running MuseScore and inspecting the Loop playback controls and Playback settings actions named in the issue. Reproduce the marker behavior with mouse dragging and the “Set loop marker left/right” commands. Done means the loop markers can be repositioned by dragging and those related actions behave correctly.
