Time reversed and interval Inverted copy and paste
Hi, gang!!!
I wonder if the development team could add a very old tool of composition: Time reversed and interval inverted of some section copy and paste.
Explanation:
1) Time reversed: Let's say we have a simple rising scale with only quarter notes: C-D-E-F-G, Well, the time reversed of this section would be: G-F-E-D-C. It is the same if we play a song from the end to the first point.
2) Interval inverted: Let's say we have a melody section with the following intervals: up 2nd, down 3rd, up 2nd. Well, the interval inverted of this section would be: down 2nd, up 3rd, down 2nd.
I hope I had used the right words to explain what I'm asking.
Those tools of composition have been used since a lot of music ages. It is not only related to the dodecaphonic period. It was used before, and it is still used today.
It is useful to create an answer to a question (for example).
Well, I hope the development team will consider this.
Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

There are 3 versions: These are named for: "retrograde" ,"inverse" and "inverse retrograde".
You probably need all three.
There might be a plugin that does this.

There is a retrograde plugin for MuseScore 1, never ported to MuseScore 2 or 3

Thanks for your data, Ziya!!!
But... I'm not talking about some "plugin".
I'm asking an integrated command, inside Musescore itself (maybe, in the new "Tools" menu).

When the paste half and paste double features were first introduced, Marc created a paste special option that is not documented. The idea was to allow for future expansion and your request was specifically mentioned as a possible additional feature in the future.

True, but meanwhile, plugins are a fine option. There are way too many special purpose things like this that really would get out of hand if we included them all within MuseScore.

I was here hoping that this tool existed, too. It would be SO helpful to just grab a phrase of notes and instantly have it inverted or retrograde. That has to be easy to code, and would save composers so much time! Thank you!
