IWBNI it were possible to jump to the next object of a given type. Here are some object types for which a go-to-next/previous function might be useful:

1. tuplets
2. expressions that are positioned above the staff
3. expressions that are positioned below the staff
4. smart shape crescendi or decrescendi
5. smart shape brackets
6. smart shape lines
7. smart shape slurs
8. smart shape tab slides
9. articulations
10. beams
11. slurs on a system break
12. ties on a system break
13. text blocks

The handle of a found object could be automatically selected or a found object could be highlighted in some way.

When a given staff set is selected, the search would be limited to the staves within the selected staff set.

This feature would be especially useful when proof reading a score. In proofing a score, one might make several passes through the score, focusing on one type of object at a time. For example, one might clean up all tuplets in one pass. In a later pass, one might check the position of all slurs, or the positions of all dynamic markings, or the positions of all tempo indications, etc.
