Anyone know of really clever ways to speed things up in Musescore 3?  So far I've learned that I can select any rest and press ctrl and a number to get a tuplet with that number of notes in it - the rest selected is then split into that number of appropriate-duration notes.  Also - you can hold down the shift key and the arrow keys to select any range of notes/staves and press s to place a slur over them.  Or you can select a range of rests and repeat the above steps (ctrl and a number) to prepare an appropriate set of tuplet-rests (making it easier in the note entry mode to place those tuplets where you want them).  I'm sure there's plenty more shortcuts!

I know more. Here are the other ones I know that you haven't mentioned:

Ctrl + Up or Down -> Moving notes up or down an octave

Alt + Number -> Add an interval above a note(so for example Alt + 6 would add a sixth above the note)

Ctrl + Shift + Delete -> Reset rests in the measure to default

Ctrl + Delete -> Remove measures

Shift + S -> Stacatto

S alone -> Slur

Shift + Left or Right -> Extend slurs to following notes(or contract a slur if you find out later the slur is too long(Shift + Left contracts, Shift + Right extends)

Shift + V -> Accent

Ctrl + G -> Add Figured Bass

Ctrl + E -> Add Expression text(so like expressivo or subito piano or any other expressive marking that's italicized in music)

Alt + Shift + B -> Add extra measures

Ctrl + Alt + Number from 1 to 4 -> Change voice(so like if you have 2 different melodic lines on the same staff for instance, this is useful)

Are you talking about MuseScore 3?  I usually use Shift + Left or Right to select the notes I want and then I hit S to slur them all.

Yes. I usually hit S to add a slur and then use Shift + Left or Right to get the slur how I want it.
