Auto-Select Object Handles After Created or Edited

Text Blocks

Suppose one selects the handle of a given text block by left clicking and then right clicks the handle to select Edit Frame Attributes from the context menu for the text block. The handle of the text block continues to be selected after the Frame Attributes dialog box is closed. IWBNI this occurred for analogous operations on expressions, articulations and tuplets. Automatic selection of the handle eliminates one extra mouse click when one wants to modify the position of a given object  by using the arrow keys immediately after it is created or edited.

Expressions

IWBNI the handle of a given expression were automatically selected after the expression is edited by using any of the following dialog boxes that are available from the context menu of the expression: Expression Assignment, Expression Designer and Font .

Articulations

IWBNI the handle of a given articulation were automatically selected after the articulation is edited by using the following dialog box that is available from the context menu of the articulation: Articulation Designer.

Tuplets

IWBNI after a tuplet is created or edited by using the Tuplet Definition dialog box, the handle of the tuplet were selected automatically.
