As matters stand you can elements like hairpins, legato bowes and voltas let begin or end at another beat when marking their handles and move their ancre points (with keys Shift+ Left/Right or Cntr+Left/Right).
This avoids you from deleting and creating this elements anew.

It would be very useful to enable this in the same way for
- advisory texts for directing or playing equally if system text or text for a single instrument or line.
- tempo texts and indicators (bpm)
- fermata
- pedal marks
...
briefly worded everything which can be valid for a certain distance parallel to the notes and you could decide it to begin, end or happen at an earlier or later point.

In fact, it works, I'm surprised, but
try a coda sign or another jump - it will not. There are signs left, aren't?
And - really laborious - you cannot cut out a range of tempo declarations (like in a rit.) and move it this way.
admittedly just as little by handles ; )
