Description
Your idea
Allow a user to click and drag on a mid-measure clef to allow them to reposition it.
Problem to be solved
Currently there seems to be no obvious way to move the location of a mid-measure clef in terms of the notes/rests in the bar. It stays where it has been initially dragged. As far as I can tell, the user has to delete then redrag a new clef.
Prior art
Sibelius lets you click and drag a mid-measure clef.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the mid-measure clef behavior in MuseScore and inspect how clefs are selected, dragged, and positioned relative to notes and rests. Done means a user can reposition an existing mid-measure clef by dragging it left or right without deleting and recreating it.
