Score navigation shortcut
Hi guys,
I'd like to talk about an ergonomic improvement regarding score navigation.
I'm currently working on huge pieces and it's very difficult to go from one point to another within the score. It will be really helpful to ad a text section (label) that adds an anchor into the score. This label would be linked to a dropdown button(e.g. screen shot).
Thus, each time you select a label reference onto the ist of the dropdown button, the cursor would be placed at the selected label position.
Moreover, this process might be achieved by using key+arrow combination, as a shortcut for score navigation (bonus only ;-) ).
Anyway, many thanks for your efforts on Musescore development.
Pascal

There is Ctrl+F, it takes measure numbers (n), page numbers (Pn) and rehearsal marks (Rn, or m) to search and jump to. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/viewing-and-navigation#find

After I made that suggestion I saw this thread https://musescore.org/en/node/316756 reporting crash problems with the timeline. I haven't experienced this myself, but something to be aware of if you try out the timeline.

I think there are some issues with Ctrl + F when working with multiple sections.
IMHO, it's not productive enough (according to my common use).
Unfortunately, I'm only a Java/JS developer, so I cannot implement a solution right now.
I'll try to come back with a functional development in the coming month.

Can you explain what in particular you find not working for you? Should work extremely well, just add the text you want to find as rehearsal marks, Ctrl+F finds them regardless of number of sections.

I've been contemplating since quite a long time to add a search for section (prefix S) and also some section relative search for measures (prefix #)

For measure numbers? Yes, that would be nice too. but I got the sense this request was about searching for text labels, in which case rehearsal marks should work flawlessly. Unless, I suppose, you accidentally duplicate a label.
