Palettes with "line breaks" and empty cells

Open scorster opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Your idea

MuseScore has fantastic options for reconfiguring palettes. I've created my own extensive master palette which works very efficiently for me, and it saves me from scanning through palettes and items I rarely use.

But I could keep my palette even more organized with line breaks or empty cells ... at the slight expense of some empty space.

In the following image note that the last cell in line 1, 3 and 5 are empty, resulting in nicely stacked items among the various lines of items.

Problem to be solved

Better organization in palettes, both one's own custom palettes and standard stock palettes that MuseScore provides.

Two other welcomed palette features:

  1. the option to drag a selected group of palette items
  2. the option to set properties over the range of selected items (presently on the last item in a selection is affected)

BTW, I created the image above graphically. Afterwards I discovered the first "blank" item in the Master Palette>Accidentals palette can be dragged to any palette, so it works as a blank cell. So it wasn't too much trouble to create this:

But with line breaks far less cell shifting would occur making it much easier to design custom palettes. Plus the palette, when widened, would able to retain its line starts!
