Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio 4.4.2 by creating a score with notes in voices 1 and 2, attaching articulations, and Shift+Clicking voice 2 articulations. Trace the articulation selection handling and verify that only voice 2 articulations are selected, without unrelated voice 1 articulations.
