no quick way to add a voice

currently, there's no way to add a "voice" to a stave without taking another note with it, which forces me to go back and delete/re-add that note in the proper voice before continuing. This is really time-consuming. say i want to write a piano part where the right hand is playing an accompaniment part and a melody simultaneously; i’d write one of those parts first, realize that i want the other, then press the voices button and split one note into the wrong voice. finally, after correcting that note, i have to click on a tiny quarter-note rest that’s sitting underneath another note in order to write the new part in. i know there is a shortcut (alt + up and allt + down) for switching between voices, but that’s borderline impossible to discover.

this gets even worse when the new part i’m trying to add is above the old part, because everything by default must fit into the top voice. so i have to cut everything, realize that this doesn’t work because musescore doesn’t let you add voices when the stave is empty, go back in and add a dud note, move that note down a voice, then finally paste in what i had. i know there is a shortcut to swap voices, but it’s not exactly intuitive to figure out.

here’s a fix i’m proposing: a pair of new functions called “insert voice above” and “insert voice below”. when you click on one of these buttons, it creates a new voice relative to your existing one and highlights it for you, so you can start imputing notes immediately. if you’re trying to add a voice above voice 1, it automatically nudges the existing voice to voice 2 and allows you to write in voice 1. and make the option to switch between voices more visible too- perhaps by adding them as buttons to the “voices” control panel, so that by hovering over them i could discover the shortcut.
