Note input cursor does not immediately change color to reflect voice selection

Ubuntu 14.04, GIT commit: e4898bc

1) new / empty score
2) measure 1, note entry
3) change to voice 2

Result: note inut cursor remains blue until you enter a note/rest or change duration on the toolbar

Minor-ish, but it does make multiple voice behavior - which is already confusing enough to newcomers especially - seem more unpredictable than it is.

It also doesn't immediately snap to the proper input position:

1) empty measure, note entry mode
2) enter a note
3) change to voice 2

Result: cursor remains in position after the note in voice 1. it snaps back to the beginning of the measure once you add a note.

I suspect these both have the same root cause - lack of a moveCursor() call (or equivalent) in ScoreView::changeVoice().
