Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

*See comments for reproduction steps

The behaviour of ottava lines causes input problems for unlinked staff/tab because the ottava properties are made to apply to both staves. This causes strange behaviour when trying to enter notes in the tab staff: e.g. notes appearing in the tab which are not the ones entered.

Could a property be added to the ottava which allows the user to specify whether the octave transposition should apply just to the display staff or both staves.
