Add support for 'Col Primo' in scores #19756

Your idea

Sometimes in full scores 'Col Primo' or abbreviated to 'Col' is used to signify that a given part is unison with another part in the score so as to make the score easier to read. It would be nice if we could use Col Primo in Musescore, like this part in this Thad Jones chart:

Please note that such a shorthand notation for a unison passage is a time-saving device that is acceptable only in a composer's full-score sketch.
