Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Select a hairpin
- Press Cmd-D
Nothing happens.
Clicking a dynamic from the palette does work, and inserts a dynamic at the end of the hairpin.
Unlike #27410, there are no real UX issues to work out here.
For extra points, perhaps it should check if there is already a dynamic at the end of the hairpin and add it at the start in that case.
It should probably also work for crescendo/diminuendo lines.
