V3 vs V2 best feature poll
Hi,
What would be for you, about one year later "the" best feature of V3 vs V2?
Auto-placement is excluded of this poll!
I know limiting to one single feature only can seem preposterous but that's only a forum topic and I think it makes this poll more interesting.

Not sure why you'd exclude autoplace; that's kind of like saying, what advantages does an airplane have over a car, other than the fact it can fly. But if I had to pick a distance second, it would be the more powerful/flexible Inspector.

I'll second that. Being able to change the text in several text lines at once is probably my favorite feature. So I'll say moving most properties dialogs to the inspector is my favorite feature.

Sorry, Marc, I should have been more clear and labelled the poll as "second best V3 feature".
As you say auto-placement is the "natural" winner of an open V3 poll, this is why I have excluded it to get the best runner-up.

Actually, I might want to change my answer: I think it's the "placement" property, and the way it allows you to press "X" to flip almost any element between above/below the staff. It kind of relates to both automatic placement and to the Inspector, but really, it's a feature that stands alone.
Honorable mention for the various "timewise" functions - insert note, remove selected range, insert mode.
Also Single Note Dynamics.
Andf the ease to have lyrics above staff, or to change their verse number
System dividers.
Single-note dynamics are also nice, but not as important in print.
Depends on what I'm working on. A small feature that I have learned to appreciate by creating arrangements for different instruments is for example the swap feature.

The swap feature was added somewhere around version 2.2, I know it's in my 2.3.2.

Really? Indeed, even with MS 2.1 (https://youtu.be/3_CgtxjWFuA?t=75) - how time is passing ;-).
I'm very prejudiced; you know what I'm going to say -- the ability to control the articulation of each note in a convenient and quick fashion is a watershed in performance realism for MS.
