Description

Your idea

Since a recent update, clicking on a dynamics mark (pp, mf, etc.) will open a pop up to give options of other dynamics. The same should happen with clefs.

Problem to be solved

Gain of time, ergonomics

Prior art

On guitar pro 8, clicking on a clef at the beginning of the bar will open a pop up with not only the other clefs (F clef, G clef, ut clef) but also an option of transposing said clef 1 octave below or above (8vb / 8va clefs).

Research direction

Start by locating the existing interaction that opens dynamics options, then find the corresponding clef-click handling in the desktop UI. The work is complete when clicking a clef at the beginning of a bar opens choices for other clefs and the requested octave-transposing clef options.
