Description

Your idea

Add to selection filter

  • Note heads
  • Stems
  • Note dots
  • Accidentals
  • Tie segments
  • Breaks

Add option "Selected Only"

Problem to be solved

This is the only way to do a complex element selection.
This is a major problem, particularly on big scores/ensembles.
If, for instance, I want to copy a dynamics + hairpin structure from the 20+ staffs I could just open the selection filter, disable all, and enable only Dynamics and Hairpins. Then I can just select the sections, and copy and paste.

However, currently, if I uncheck "Voice 1" I can't select anything in voice 1, but if I check "Voice 1", then everything that is not on the selection filter is also selected (Note heads, Stems, Note dots, Accidentals, Tie segments, Breaks) even if "Voice 1" is the only checked option.

Only "Voice 1" checked but anything else

This should be and empty selection

Only "Hairpins" and "Dynamics" checked besides "Voice 1"

This should select only the dynamics and hairpins
