Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Recently, I had the need to add a "Brace" character in front of the dynamic to indicate that the dynamic is assigned to two staves between. But I couldn't do it.

  1. Add dynamics
  2. Double-click on the dynamic with the left mouse button
  3. Open the Properties and click on "Insert special characters"
  4. Select/press any character
Expected behaviour

It was expected that the selected symbol would be displayed next to the dynamic, but this did not happen. None of the special characters can be added to the dynamic.
