Insert notation mode
MuseScore might have Insert notation mode. If insert notation mode is turned on, MuseScore should shift to right all notes residing after inserted one, and vice versa shift to left after deletion of notes. At the moment MuseScore manages notation in overwrite manner only.

There is work in progress in the current development version. Currently the dev version has a local insert/delete mode, meaning the current measure will grow/shrink depending of what you add/remove. There is also a global insert mode in the work. It will shift all the music when you delete/add something. That will be fun with nested tuplet, time signature/key signature changes, and instrument changes with transposition :)

hey did this ever get implemented? Spent an hour tonight moving bits of a score around as i needed to 'bump' everything to the right! Had to redo all the tempo changes, i sort of gave up.
thanks!

It indeed has.

Local (=measure) only, nothing global yet

Indeed. And that will propably (or hopefully) never come

Except...that's not true. Global insert mode is definitely in the product (you need to use Ctrl+I after starting Insert Mode). But it's somewhat buggy, there's no indication which mode you're in, and the handbook doesn't seem to mention it at all!

Opps, indeed.
And soon it starts complaining about "Cannot change time signature in front of a corrupted measure"

TBH it's what I would prefer to be the default insert mode if it worked reliably, but obviously needs a bit more work. I've actually done the work to enable it in v4 (wasn't that much), but will probably need to reverse that unless it's decided it's important enough to do properly.

While it's true you'd need to move tempo markings, that is kind of an unrelated issue from inserting notes. Sounds like maybe something else is going on in your case, but it's hard to say what. If you attach your score we can understand and assist better.

Thanks all - I actually was hoping for a 'toggle' between 'insert mode affects single measure' or 'insert mode bumps entire score'. I tend to need it more when i belatedly realize i need to do a major reshuffle of dozens of measures for one reason or another.
