Research direction

Start by locating the stave type change element and the existing handling for dragging comparable score elements, then compare it with the copy-and-paste path described in the issue. The work is complete when an inserted stave type change can be dragged to a new position without breaking its score behavior; the issue names no files or tests, so these entry points must first be identified.
