Click augmentation dot button with several notes selected does nothing
Click augmentation dot button with several notes selected does nothing.
Expected behaviour: the notes become dotted.
It works when only one note is selected.

Does it work for an odd number of notes and fail for an even number? Or is it only working for single chords/rests?
In reply to Does it work for an odd by Jojo-Schmitz
You can only change the duration by selecting a single note, you can't even select the entire chord or more than one note in a chord. This applies to dots, q, w and all other durations. Selecting a single note in a chord changes the entire chord's duration, which is expected.

I know that selecting any note of a chord is enough to change the duration of the chord. I'm speaking about selecting several notes in the score that all must become dotted.
It is inconvenient to have to select dot select dot select dot ... instead of begin able to make the full selection and then change all of them at once. As it works well for arrow up and down adding/removing halftone to all of them at once e.g..

What I said is in agreement with what you said. I was mostly replying to Jojo rather than you. I've occasionally wished I could add dots to several notes but not often. The problem with changing the duration of several notes at once is what to do if they end up overlapping. Moving a later note (along with all of the following notes) is not an option for the same reason you can't enter notes then rhythms. Shortening the later note and adding a dot doesn't make sense*. You may never do this yourself, but the programmer has to allow for someone thinking they can do that or doing it by accident.
*if you have 2 half notes in a row, and dot the first, the second will become a quarter note starting on the fourth of the original 4 beats.
