Description
Your idea
In Logic Pro X I'm accustomed to the convenience of copy-dragging an Input/Instrument setting to another track. Likewise with an Audio FX setting. (To be clear, on MacOS an option-dragging invokes a copy-drag result.)
I'd like to see that option in MuseScore 4's Mixer.
Problem to be solved
For example, it's tedious enough trying to sculpt an EQ setting with MuseFX ProEQ a) because ProEQ's dials lack meaningful labels b) because Muse Sounds provides no documentation for MuseFX c) ProEQ lacks a graphical frequency representation normally found in a parametric EQ d) the presets (at least the one's I've tried) seem divorced from their title/description e) there's no means for saving a custom setting. (I'm hoping I'm wrong about e)!)
So then, after achieving a reasonable result in ProEQ, to apply it to another track I'd have to meticulously adjust eight dials.
Copy-drag would resolve that.
Copy-dragging an instrument to another track would be another use case.
