Description
Your idea
When trying to have a dynamic cresc or decresc (hairpin) in the last bar and adding a dynamic after it, let us be able to select the Final Barline or other types of barlines, crtl D and select a dynamic or by double clicking on a dynamic in the palate. This could also be expanded to barlines in general.
Problem to be solved
It is most obvious when trying to add a dynamic after a hairpin on a whole note in 4/4. I have to currently add a dynamic on count 1, select the dynamic then Hold shift to move it to the end. Instead, being able to select the following bar line or last double bar, let us add a dynamic to that so it adds to the last beat in the measure.
