The current behaviour of adding an interval to a note is all well and good, except...

  • If you are trying to add a fixed interval to a chord (2 voices or more), it will create not an interval, but the entire chord.
    So in practice starting from 3 note chords this command becomes pretty useless.
    As was discussed in a related topic:

https://musescore.org/en/node/305776

There is no practical reason to have a behaviour, where the command piles full chords together on the same staff. Nobody really wants gigantic chords, created at one click, which no instrument can play.

So the formal suggestion is to change the "alt + number" command behaviour (consecutively also for the command that adds intervals below) in such a way that:

  • When command is applied to a chord, it would create only ONE note above, or below.

_Fix #305814: Adding Intervals via "alt + number" command

Resolves: https://musescore.org/en/node/305814.

Currently when adding an interval to a selection, the interval is added to each note within the selection. This commit changes this behavior so that in the case of a range selection, only one note is added to each chord within the selection._
