Add Some Existing Play Panel Functionality to Playback Controls Toolbar
Would it be very difficult to add the following buttons from the "Play Panel" to the "Playback Control" list of Available Actions?
- Set loop In position
- Set loop out position
I am a software engineer and would like to contribute to your project. Such a feature seems like some low-hanging fruit that would enable me to get my feet wet.

Shouldn't be difficult, but also shouldn't be necessary - you can already set the loop position very simply by simply selecting a range with the loop button enabled.

Yes that works. However, when I am on my tablet PC, I do not have the ability to select a range. I don't have a mouse nor a keyboard. Just using my finger, I can select a start measure, then click [, and then select a stop measure and then click ].
Thanks.

I would say if selecting is difficult without a mouse or keyboard, it would be a far more valuable thing to work on that directly. There are probably all sorts of ways in which the interface isn't very touch-friendly. I'd focus on knocking off the biggest issues that affect the most use cases. Setting loop points is a relatively minor thing compared to all the other things might use MuseScore for, like entering notes, adding symbols from the palette, copying and pasting, transposing, etc.
