Tie command does not properly handle chords with unisons

The real problem is in the creation of the tied unisons. Currently that is not handled correctly, causing weird behavior such as this.

For now, the easiest way to create properly tied unisons is to do the following:

Enter a note
Add an octave note
Add a tied chord by pressing +
Press ctrl-down

Now that the chords are tied together properly, if you select the measure and press ctrl-up or ctrl-down, all notes will change octaves as expected.

See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5275.

I'm not sure whether we should document workarounds for such bugs in the handbook, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/ties#ties_unison_notes

We could however create and maintain a page with known bugs and their workarounds and link to that from the handbook.
The 'maintain' part is worrying be though...

Ideally, the person who adds a certain workaround to the page would post a comment on the issue. When the issue is fixed, that person will get a notification, and will know that the workaround can be removed, unless someone else removes it first.

so far for the theory ;-)

yes, but not in a single page, instead scattered all over the place
