Description
Your idea
With v4.5, Ctrl-D opens a pop-up menu allowing dynamics to be added to the selected note. The proposal is to expand this functionality so dynamics can be added in this manner when multiple notes are selected (for example, the first note of a measure across multiple parts).

Problem to be solved
Simplifies addition of dynamics across multiple parts.
Prior art
This idea works today when adding dynamics from the Palette - if you select the notes and then click on a dynamic from the Palette, the dynamic is added to all parts.

Research direction
Reproduce Ctrl-D with one selected note and then with notes selected across multiple parts, and compare the result with applying a dynamic from the Palette. Trace the existing Ctrl-D pop-up menu entry and the Palette behavior; done means the shortcut applies the chosen dynamic to every selected note without changing its current single-note behavior.
