Addition to note by duration feature
The new note by duration feature for Musescore is a great addition to Musescore's workflow. However in my view it would be even more flexible if you could further automate the process of placing rests instead of having to press 0 for the rests all the time. In Dorico you use a input cursor backwards and forwards and when placing a note further away (for instance 2 beats) it automatically places rests in between the notes. This way you can also free up de 0 shortcut, which (like in Dorico) could be used for a natural, where the = key could be used for sharp (negating the need to press the shift key combined with + to enter sharps.

The ability to place a note on any beat has been brought up many times. Hopefully some day it will happen. The argument against it is that we read music left to right. So software should do the same. BTW, Sibelius can also place a note on any beat.
