Merge Staff Properties Dialog into Gear-Popup-Widget in Instruments Panel

[Lenbus]

Your idea

Merge the modal Staff/Properties Window into the Instruments Side Panel. The options should be put into the popup that opens when you click the gear icon next to the staff's name.

Problem to be solved

Unifying the UI. There should be one modern way to do it, not two (especially not with a modal window, blocking the entire score whilst when opened).

In that new dialog, I would suggest grouping the options as shown in the attachted image:

• green marked options should go into that main speech bubble widget
• the more advanced stuff could go into a dialog opening when the "Advanced Style Properties" Button is clicked.
• instrument's transposition and pitch range are properties of the selected and should just go right next to the instrument selection box
• the staff name should be independent from the selected instrument (maybe with a checkbox for auto-naming -> by which the staff name is derived from the current instrument's name and increment-counted automatically).

Oh, that dialog is definitely on borrowed time.
