Description
Related to #14238
Like we did for repeat play count text, we should make it possible to edit text that is a part of a line element by double-clicking on it within the score (as opposed to the current method of editing it within a text field in properties).
This may require a bit of design, specifically the addition of Auto/Custom/Hide options in properties for such text.
Text line objects to which this would apply:
- Volta lines
- Prima volta
- Seconda volta (open)
- Seconda volta
- Terza volta
