Description
Your idea
Bring back Mu3's tool tips for the piano tool, along with the Mu3 option to disable the tooltips and showing of the C key in every octave
Problem to be solved
Fixes a regression vs. Mu3. Mentioned in https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/13273#issuecomment-3426845617
Prior art
That feature existed in Mu3
Additional context
See #6459 (3.6), #6890 (master), the options to disable the display of the Cs and #8008 (only for 3.7 as far as I can tell), the options to disable the tooltips. No idea since when the tooltips themself exist
