Piano Keyboard UI Highlight Notes During Playback
This was a feature back in MS3 and earlier that I wish would make it's return. If you aren't sure what I mean this video I found shows off what I'm talking about.

The feature worked in the same way shown in this video except it would be in the app itself when you played back a score. In MS4 the piano now only highlights notes when you select notes in the score.
This feature was IMMENSELY helpful to me as a learning and compositional tool, allowing me to see the harmonic shape of a piece very quickly in a way that my brain understood better (a piano keyboard). Now I must highlight each chord individually if I want to quickly analyze a part of the composition. I imagine this would help others in a similar to me where they are more comfortable with a piano than notation.
It seems to have been consciously not re-implemented as seen here https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15794
I particularly disagree with the notion that it it has no functional value and is purely a visual "nice to have". It very much has functional value. It became a pretty integral part of my workflow that I have to now work around.
I am very much advocating for for its return!
Thank you!
