Naming of palettes #17497

Closed wongjack2332 closed 1 year ago

wongjack2332 commented 1 year ago

Your idea

I found out that some palettes in musescore are named ambiguously or even incorrectly, causing confusion when trying to search up the desired palette. I think this is to do with the translating of the app, but im not sure

e.g. an upper mordent is labelled as 'short trill', and a lower mordent is labelled as a normal 'mordent'

Problem to be solved

usability would be better such that users can find what they want

Those 2 names had been changed deliberatly following a change (and correction) in SMuFL. But the old naming is a common mistake, so your confusion about them is quite understandable. And it isn't palettes, but palette items, so I'm not sure what exactly you're requesting?

I believe this is a duplicate of #11411. For some palette items, it would make sense for there to be more than one searchable name, such as the mordent/short trill you mentioned, as well as "forte" for f, "flam" for grace notes, "strum" for arpeggio (#14385), etc.

Good point @wongjack2332, and one that I believe should be solvable by https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/11411. Thanks!
