Hairpins in version 2
Hi, I'm really excited with the new version of MuseScore!
Just a rapid question: why the toggle "h" doesn't work anymore for hairpins?
I also like to know if there's a way to move multiple object at once (like hairpins, or lyrics, dynamics...) in the vertical direction; eg.I have a series of hairpins that are colliding with the above notes, so I need to lower them all. In version 1 I used to select all the items, and the holding ctrl key I was able to move them all at once, but in version 2 this doesn't seem to work anymore. It seems like the only possible direction to move multiple object is either left or right, but not up and/or down.

The shortcut had been changed to the more intuitive > and &lr;, which also freed up h for the German note of that name (B in English)
Unfortunatly that doesn#t seem to work on all keyboards... but you can change the shortcuts to your likings.
I think you can move the selected hairpins up and down via the Inspector, F8, and the vertical offset setting
The Inspector is definitely the best way to move multiple items - very precise and convenient.
But you can also do it by dragging. It's just a bit tricky becase Ctrl has changed meaning - it now forces things to to only drag horizontally; Shift while dragging forces vertical. That's a nice feature when dragging single items, but it gets in the way a little when dragging multiple items, since you also need "Ctrl" to keep the double-click that starts the drag from un-selecting evertyhing else.. But it does still work if you hold Ctrl while double clicking, but release it before (or while) dragging.

Thanks, really appreciate the support. I really like this software, and I'm using it more and more (even if I'm using Sibelius since years!). Of course, Sibelius is still the fastest choice in writing scores (eg. the auto-layout setting is a great feature), but there are things I like best in MuseScore. For example I always write my lead-sheets with MS, because they look nicer, and the chord are much more easy to read. Maybe in next versions we'll have also some auto-layout settings? :) I've great expectations.

Auto-layout settings is something we would consider for 3.0 indeed.
