As Miker said on another forum, this will of course be useful to many. For me it's not, but congratulations anyway!
I'm no programmer myself but can't help thinking that this was no big job for the programmers of MM. So, when are we to see the big improvements to our, as yet, indispensable work tool?
I'm not being critical for the fun of it, mind.

I have the same comment as with the last announcement about the improved expressions library: these are things that should have been done properly from the beginning and which experienced users will have already done for themselves painstakingly. And I agree with Anders: these last two announced improvements would hardly seem to be earth-shattering acheivements from a programmer’s point of view. While I can imagine that the improvements displayed in the first two announcements were more difficult (stacking articulations and slur collision avoidance) and while I’m grateful for them, those features have already been available for years in Sibelius and in Dorico since its beginning only two years ago. I’m still hoping that MM’s saving the best for the last...
