UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)

Bug description

Most Style settings have adjacent buttons that "Reset to Default" value, but some don't for some reason that isn't apparent to me. The ones I noticed are:

  • The 'Notes', 'Beams', 'Arpeggios', and 'Figured bass' sections are completely missing reset buttons
  • The 'Chord symbols' and 'Fretboard diagrams' sections are partially missing reset buttons
  • In the 'Rests' section (multimeasure rests specifically) the "Minimum number of empty measures" setting has no reset button, but every other setting on the page does

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Style settings UI and comparing sections that have reset buttons with Notes, Beams, Arpeggios, Figured bass, Chord symbols, Fretboard diagrams, and multimeasure rests. Verify the affected settings and their reset behavior across the listed sections. Done means every applicable setting has a visible “Reset to Default” button that restores its default value.
