Qualifying text for hairpins
Your idea
I suggest changing the auto-placement of the qualifying text for hairpins as follows (instead of the existing way of placing the text at the beginning/end of the haipins):
It would also be nice if the software would automatically detect and reproduce the degree of volume change according to the assigned qualifying text (for example: poco cresc. should be played with a slight loudness change, molto cresc. should be played with a significant loudness change, etc.)
Problem to be solved
At the moment, in Musescore, qualifying text can be added to the hairpins either at the beginning or at the end. This placement of the text is ambiguous, as it can be interpreted in different ways (it is not entirely clear what refers to what).
In addition, the qualifying text shifts the hairpin to the side, which ultimately may lead to a misinterpretation of the designation.

If you change the automatic placement of the text so that it is displayed above or below the hairpin, then it becomes completely obvious that the qualifying text refers specifically to the hairpin.
I also ask you to pay attention to the fact that at the moment MuseScore Studio does not respond in any way to such instructions as molto, poco, etc. in terms of playback for the simple reason that it [MuseScore] does not recognize these instructions. Regardless of whether poco a poco, molto, etc. is specified, MuseScore Studio will apply the same degree of loudness change.
Prior art
In Dorico, the qualifying text is automatically positioned above/below the hairpin.
