Re: [Mscore-developer] Harmony and Figured Bass navigation

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

I wondered about using Ctrl+Space to move by beat in figured bass and
Alt+Space to navigate by half beat. This carries forward the meaning of
the Ctrl and Alt modifiers from moving items in edit mode (e.g. Ctrl
means move only a small amount, Alt means move a really small amount)

In edit mode (such as when you double click on a notehead):
* Arrow: moves a space
* Ctrl+Arrow: moves a 1/10 space
* Alt+Arrow: moves only a hairline (I'm not sure what the exact unit is)
