  1. In the PRE, Ctrl + click selects a note, but Ctrl + click does not deselect a note . This goes against user expectation and against how the command works elsewhere.

Suggestion: Change Ctrl + click behaviour to match how it works in ther parts of MuseScore (i.e. selects and deselects elements).

  1. In the PRE, Shift + click has the same effect as Ctrl + click, except that it can also be used to deselect individual notes. This, again, goes against expected behaviour.

Suggestion: For selection purposes, Shift + click should work as it does in the main document window.
