Allow multi-select when setting pizzicato and arco directions
MuseScore 2.0.2
With string quartet or string quintet, I often find that I want to set either "pizz." or "arco" on several staves at once. I have tried to do this as follows:
Multi-select > Right-click > Stave Text Properties... > select Voice 1 > select Pizzicato (or Normal for Arco)
But multi-select doesn't seem to work: the pizz or arco direction only gets applied to the last-selected item of the multi-select.
The attached image shows an example where this feature would be very useful.

Please ignore last post. Misunderstood question.
FWIW, it works to create a "pizz." marking with the playback options set and then add it to a custom palette (see Handbook). You can then add that to multiple elements at once by selecting them and double clicking the palette element.

might be good to have those in the advanced Workspace, pizz., arco, tremolo, mute and open

I'd agree.

What would be really cool is if MuseScore could recognize the string "pizz" in a piece of text and automatically apply the channel change. Is that within the bounds of possibility?

Yes, it's possible, until you want to write pizz and not have the channel change... and this case is much harder to handle...

In a John Stump style, you could be telling the cellist to order a pizza.

Yes, that was my idea to. "Pizz. Quattro Staggione" as a staff text to a string intrument would indeed be problematic ;-)

I'd prefer the solution of just adding "pizz" & the rest to the default advanced tab. This also helps with the problem of feature discovery.
I'd also would love to have the expressions pizz, arco, so that it would change all voices.
If one simply wants the text to appear and not the change in sound, it is always possible to "staff text - properties".
Or MuseScore could have something similar to the tempo changes where you have a checkbox to follow text.
I made a similar sugestion like 2 weeks ago. It would be very helpful.
