Play with right hand bracket obscures notes and accidentals
This is a very minor design issue, but it probably has an easy fix and has been bugging me the last three hours: adding the "play with hand" brackets to my score: when trying to readjust accidentals or changing notes inside the bracket boundary, the bracket takes precedent over the accidental and notes. There is no way to do something within the bracket radius without first moving the bracket away and putting it back into its place again.
For example, I noticed the accidental in front of the G was rather far away from the stem and wanted to put it closer - unfortunately, I had to first move away the bracket since it would eat any click on the accidental despite clearly not being the desired selection.

Are you saying, it's hard to click on the accidental, because the bracket seems to cover it? if so, simply Ctrl+click to select what's underneath.
If that's not what you mean, please attach your actual score as opposed to just a picture, and give more details on how to reproduce the problem, so we can understand and assist better.

That's precisely what I meant. Ctrl+click doesn't work for me since I use a Mac with touchpad and ctrl+click turns into a right click instead. Is it possible to rebind that shortcut?

On Mac keyboards, simply substitute "Cmd" any time I say "Ctrl" :-). Cmd on Mac does what Ctrl does on other OS's (Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc), not just in MuseScore, but in general.
Cmd+clickm, btw, is also how you build what are called "list selections", so it's a good action to know. You can Cmd+click non-contiguous elements to select them one by one, or Cmd+click a selected element to deselect it.

I knew about the list selection, but never realized it allowed to access something obstructed that way, thank you :-)
