Description

Your idea

Add the ability to redo/reapply the previous score operation, such as Transpose. Currently, there is no way to repeat the last operation on a new selection.

Problem to be solved

I use the redo option in things like Microsoft Word a lot, where you can reapply the last command to a new selection. This would be great in MuseScore, for instance, if you're doing a lot of transpositions, to redo without having to open up the Transpose dialog box each time.

Prior art

Microsoft Word and many other apps have functionality like this.

Done means a user can reapply the previous score operation to a new selection without reopening its dialog.
