Global Tempo Set & Voice management.
Hi, gang!!!
You know I think, and I thank, that MuseScore is the best music software available today.
BUT... as any other human work, it should be improved.
I think today MuseScore version needs three elementary things:
1) A global tempo reset button (automatic elimination of any manual tempo mark, any staff, any part). Of course, it should include a global tempo management, without any manual tempo mark.
2) Full separate voice management. I mean:
2A) If I used more than one note, at the same time, regardless individual rhythm values of the notes involved, MuseScore should not only recognize it as different voices; more than that, it should be immediately be able to be used as different voices (to cut, copy & paste, as different voices, for example).
2B) MuseScore should be able to separate and manipulate, into different staves, any voices at any staff, without to have to do the well-known too long "interchange voices" copy & paste procedure we know today.
2C) MuseScore should be able to manipulate separately any voices, at any staff, into the Mixer and Synthesizer windows.
3) There shouldn't be a 4 voices per staff limitation. There are still a lot of piano (and other kind of pieces) written as MIDI files, with just one staff but with more than 4 voices or simply more than 4 voices per staff. MuseScore shouldn't have this limitation (I'm not a programmer, but I think it could be change).
MAYBE, some of the things I described before can be performed today and I don't know how. I apologise for that.
Greetings & Blessings from Chile!!!!!!!

1) You can delete all tempo marks easily already - just right click one, select all similar, delete. Same way you'd delete all articulations, or all lyrics, or all voltas, etc. No need for a special command just for tempo markings.
2A) I don't understand. Can you attach a specific score you are having problems with and describe more precisely what ti is you are having trouble doing?
3) Where have you seen music with more than four voices per staff? I have seen literally tens of thousands of pages of piano music and never once encountered a need for this. If the problem is that you have poorly constructed MIDI files that attempt to combine multiple staves worth of music into one staff, that's the fault of the person or program that created this MIDI file, but maybe some special-purpose MIDI editor could simply it and turn it into something more reasonable. There is no reason to complicate MuseScore further with this soprt of MIDI file editing.
