Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction and Regression

Task

Changing the marker above the string (i.e. X, O, or nothing) should not clear any markings in the diagram itself.

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. open the attached video
  2. note that in the "fretboard editor" clicking the O MuseScore clears all fret marks on the string, as if Multiple Dots is unchecked
  3. the fret marks should have been retained ... but of course, you can simply reenter them as a workaround
  4. interestingly, as shown in the video, it's possible to clear the X without losing other marks on the same string
