I have marked this as critical because it's critical that it makes it into the beta, IMO.
Here is the PR: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4456
It has PDF documentation attached.
The PR changes the UI and breaks file format compatibility with 3.01. The PR's branch is currently a compatibility build for 3.01.

Into the beta? I'm afraid that ship has sailed, and the next one is weighing anchor :-). The fixes you implement do sound useful to consider for an update at some point soon after release, but I'm not sure how the file format change will fly. Does that mean scores created in that update won't be openable in at all in older builds, or that the layout will be messed up in all cases, or only that scores using some new feature won't open correctly in older builds?
Yea, my timing on this was not good. The current build acts as a compatibility build, so it can all work together - the code opens all formats (I updated the read206.cpp prodecures too) and saves in the newest format. I have not tested opening a v1 score, but I have tested v2, 3.01, and my new 3.02.
This is good code that fixes real problems. It also adds several enhancements to sweeten the pot. I really need the fixes to the spatium value, the sooner the better, whenever that is. All I want for Christmas is for my PR to be accepted :-)
Relating to my bad timing: The alpha and betas should have been announced on the developer mailing list. If I had known that 3.0 development was coming to a close, I would have started this work sooner. I don't visit the forums on a regular basis, and that's the only place I saw anything announced. I waited to tackle this (again) until finishing other work, but if I had known the timing I would have changed my focus.
Add this issue to the PR: https://musescore.org/en/node/283576
and that issue is now fixed.
Add https://musescore.org/en/node/281445
and https://musescore.org/en/node/285714
to the list of issues fixed by this PR.
So it fixes:
It fixes this new issue too:

Jojo - you might be right about that one issue. I might have a typo in that issue number.
