General Discussion / NWC2 enhancements
Working with NWC2 (I do arrangements of orchestral works for wind instruments band) I have felt a number of times the need for the following enhancements. I'd like to know whether they are foreseen earlier or later.

- Multi-staff (vertical) selection : the possibility to select a set of staves at once. For example, I'd like to select a section of orchestral work in order to delete, move or copy it. Making it staff by staff is slow and error prone.

- Better management of multiple void measures. When managing a single instrument score it should be beneficial to have a mean to include repetition numbers for multiple void measures. Using a simple text on top of a single pause measure obtains the visual effect, but the measure numbers, which are very useful when directing an orchestral work, get disaligned. It should be needed some "special" text which takes into account the repetition number and sum it to the measure number in order to avoid the disalignment.

- Management of ' | % | ' measures in order to make repetitions of the same measure a number of times with reduced space should be very beneficial especially for wind band booklets where the space is limited.

- The current implementation of musical ornaments is limited to small notes (appoggiatura/acciaccatura), while it should be nice to have also things like trillo (mainly), mordente, gruppetto, and so on. I understand that there are a lot of ways to execute them, but maybe it should be possible to provide some default implementation, with the possibility for the user to customise it as needed, providing a personalised template. Using text plus hidden notes is possible today but it's slow and at the end of the day not practical for a real usage.

- It seems that only triplets are managed. It should be useful to have also other numbers of group of notes managed : 2, 5, 6 (very frequent!) at least.

Thanks and best regards
Francesco
