Description

Your idea

Add a shortcut to replace measure numbers at the beginning of systems by currently placed rehearsal markings.

Problem to be solved

Constant problem in both the conductor score and the separate parts, which sometimes require manual changes.

Prior art

Unsure about how other apps deal with this.

Additional context

Real engraved music does always seem to have rehearsal markings replacing measure numbers, in both the conductor score and the part score.

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing measure-number and rehearsal-marking properties and their score and part engraving paths, then determine how global and per-property options should interact. Done means the option consistently replaces system-start measure numbers with existing rehearsal markings in both conductor scores and parts.
