Redo selection
I'm hoping that a "Redo selection" feature has been previously requested. (Now that I think of it, I may have already requested it! I searched the forum prior to posting but didn't find any such discussion or request.)
Here's just one reason I'd find "Redo selection" quite valuable:
Let's say I've made an extensive and detailed selection and then edit a audible property of the selected objects. Next I need to play the score to hear the effect—to start playback from the desired point I need to select a note, thereby quashing the current selection. Then, to further edit the previously selected objects, I have to redo the detailed selection.
Anyone else frequently need to reinstate the last selection, or a recent selection? There are lots of selection quashing actions, so I think it would become widely popular.
Additionally it would be great if Musescore kept a "selection history" stack during each score session. Or if users could save "a selection" and later reinstate it from a "Saved selection list."

Notes remain selected after paste. On pasting chord symbols MuseScore deselects them.

When the user makes a change in the duration (i.e. the face value) of a group of selected notes MuseScore loses the selection.
Is the any benefit in that?
Adding a articulation to a group of notes leaves the last articulation selected.
That makes perfect sense when adding an articulation to a single note. But I don't see any value in that when adding articulations to a group of selected notes ... and it's at the expense of losing the selection.

I can understand the value of a "Redo Selection". But I'm not sure if it could work. It seems to me that MuseScore looks at everything in a selected range so that it can perform whatever action you do. At what point do you save the selection and in what state? If the selection is note-based, how does the software redo a selection if the first or last note is removed or changed?
As you know, if you add an articulation to a selection range and hit play, playback starts at the beginning of the selection. While it does lose the selection, undo brings it back. Not exactly what you are looking for, I know.
