Description with steps to reproduce

Few ideas to improve "Edit element" option when right-clicking something on the score:

(from @MarcSabatella comment)
I'd be very much in favor of seeing some useful indication that you are in edit mode and what it does. Like, a popup that appears showing clicking arrow buttons (in addition to enabling the cursor keys). Or even just some additional highlighting of the element being edited (a colored background, say).
