Bug/improvement for Voice Selector (F6)
Whenever I try to use the F6 search filters to clean up a score (ie, remove all articulations or lyrics) I miss the function to select only events that happen in Voice 1 but not the notes themselves.
If I only select "Articulations", nothing is selected because I need a voice context, but if I select "Voice I" it automatically selects all the notes. The solution seems pretty simple: just include a "note selector" checkbox. It can be toggled automatically when I click "Voice 1" so that the current behavior remains the same, but if I could togglet Notes off and keep Articulations on then I could easily wipe out all markings.
Currently, to get this result I save the file on a non-compressed .mscx format and do a search and replace for , which might be a tad too complicated for a regular user!
Best Regards,
Fernando

Very nice, thanks!
Still, it's a very hidden feature.

Hidden?
In addition to the (F6) selection filter, there are numerous methods to select score elements.
See:

which openly explains about Right click -> Select... -> More

Hidden or not (indeed I should have looked at the handbook), the main issue here is that you can't adequately perform this from the selection filter, which could be easily improved if it would be possible to select those elements apart from the notes.

Not very hidden if you look in the Handbook https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/selection-modes#all-similar-selecti…
Or if you experiment with what a right click will do.

LOL!
Let's talk about some obscure, hidden method... ;-)
The thing to understand is that MuseScore makes a huge distinction between "range selections" - which by definition always include all notes/rests from one point to another - and "list selections", which can be any combination of selections The Select Filter is never the way to create a list selection; it's only for removing certain elements from consideration within a range selection. To creat list selections - elements that don't include notes - use the Select right-click menu, or Ctrl+click individually, or click one elements, Shift+click another to select all similar elements between them.
And yes, it would be nice if someday someone came up with a tool that could somehow present this all clearly, But so far in years of trying, no one has come up with such a design.
