lines
Has there been any discussion about improving MuseScore's handling of lines--specifically those plain lines* used in keyboard scores to indicate movement of voices in a polyphonic texture? (etc.) As it stands currently, they are very tricky to place, and will go all wonky if the layout is altered or reset.
It would be nice if both the start and end points could be snapped to notes.
*Technically, "line segments."

Note-anchored lines? This just got improved pretty recently (in master, so will be in 4.5)
Note anchored lines can be snapped to notes and are very useful for the application you describe.
They are currently found in the Add menu but I think there are plans to put them in the Lines palette. Also ways of controlling the offset in relation to note heads is being looked at. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/21279 for example.

They are in the lines palette in 4.5, and use the same layout as straight glissandos, much better than currently

I would have never thought of looking there: I was looking in the palette, and the inspector (once the line had been created).
Thank you, both.

Yes, note-achored lines are one of the best kept secret in MuseScore. This will change with 4.5

The next question--how do select which two note heads to anchor the line to? Attempting to click on both will select a range of all voices and chords, across the great staff.
