Slur/Line default 'edit mode' ctrl-arrow activity

• Jan 27, 2020 - 02:51

In older MuseScore versions, you could, when in edit mode, Shift+Arrow to change the end node of a slur, and then, if you wanted that slur to extend just a little more or less, use Ctrl+Arrows and it would work. Now, it seems like the middle node is selected by default. Apparently if a user Shift+Arrows, it will work still like before, but the Ctrl+Arrows will now "move" the whole slur instead of perform offsetting of the end node. To achieve the same style of activity, the user needs to tab over a few times to move from the central node to the end node for Ctrl+Arrows.

Was this a design decision after deliberation, or did it end up being the default activity because of the new single-click action? I wonder if others would prefer the older way of being able to offset the end node without having to tab over to the end-node?

Don't have any strong feelings either way, but it is something noticed lately and figured it should be mentioned here.

Yet not when selected via keyboard through next element [Alt+Right/Left] - still needs directly to enter into [edit element] (like double click also) as it previously was.

It's useful the way that it now is - just making an observation that wasn't seemingly explicit in the release notes (if it was, it wasn't obvious to me). Very much liking the non-necessary two-click version.
