Ottava font/symbol change
I'm using Musescore 2.1.
I add an ottava dragging or double-clicking from the left panel line list. Then I right-click and select line properties. Text shows <sym>ottava</sym>, which renders a black italic 8.
Then I close the dialog and go to menu item Style / General... and choose Ottava, then I click on Apply.
The text changes to a regular italic 8. If now I right-click and select line properties, I find that text has changed to 8 instead of <sym>ottava</sym>.
Any explanation?

I do not recall exactly the reason (it's been a while), but observe that for this specific line, when you drag and drop an ottava line, you get a regular italic 8.
As you add it by double-clicking, you get a black italic 8.

It would be nice that the symbol or font used for the ottava were a style item valid throughout the whole score, with the possibility of overriding it on a case-by-case basis (and the possibility to revert to default)
See #85401: Ottava in custom palette loses customized text in Line Properties when double-clicked onto score.
