I've noticed a lot of new users don't know how to properly extend volta lines to next measure by double clicking and pressing shift+right. Too often they intuitively try to drag the line right with their mouse.

I guess it should be pretty simple...feel free to suggest better description...but this is basically taken from https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voltas#add-volta:

"To add a volta to the score, either:
-Select a measure, or range of measures and double-click a Volta icon in the Lines palette.
-Drag-and-drop a volta from the Lines palette.

The range can be adjusted by double-clicking the volta to enter edit mode which automatically selects the end handle. Press Shift+→ to move the end handle forward one measure. Press Shift+← to move the handle backward one measure."

I guess this will get triggered when user clicks on a volta in the palette?
