Select a chord (traditional music definition of more than one note on a beat) and double click fermata in the palette.

Result: a fermata for every note in the chord
Expected: one fermata for the entire chord

It works as expected in version 2.3.2.

MuseScore 2 allowed a chord to have multiple fermatas only if each fermata was a different type. The above patch takes this same approach. If it is desirable that adding a fermata to a chord that already has a different type of fermata should instead change the type of the existing fermata, then the patch can be modified accordingly.

I think I would prefer that the type of the existing fermata be changed if the user adds a fermata to a chord that already has a fermata of a different type . So I am updating my patch. I have also discovered why fermatas added in the main score are not added in the linked parts. So I am fixing that as well.
