Description

Your idea

When you press Ctrl + Z to go back in the history, the score should return to the page where the last operation was performed, and the timeline should be positioned exactly where the change was made. This way, you're right where you were just before without having to search for it. You can even use the spacebar to scroll through the score at that point.

Furthermore, Ctrl + Z should not result in a note change (checked note): this type of step should be removed from the history notebook.

Problem to be solved

Displaying the Location of the Previous Operation when Ctrl + Z.

Prior art

Microsoft Word does it.

That's necessary

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the exact undo and history behavior, then trace the score location and timeline state affected by Ctrl+Z; done means the view returns to the previous operation and checked-note changes are excluded from the history.
