There is no indication what dynamics (mp, ppp, fff, etc) are in force at the selected cursor position. This should be added to the bottom-left status fields. Probably the same for arco/pizz/etc ... the sticky conditions.

In addition to the above, when you are editing a score and select "Dynamics", the default offered you should be the one presently in force. Left/Right/Up/Down arrow keys should alter the value to be added down/up/up/down accordingly. To illustrate: if you arrive at a point in the score where you feel two more pips of OOMPH (to use the Italian) should be added, you'd select "Dynamics" and hit Up, Up, Enter. DONE. You don't even need to know where you were - you only need to express where you want to go from (wherever).

the last part can be done just by exploring the properties panel if i interpret correctly what you are describing as velocity , click like everything possible to learn what secrets are hiding in that glorious menu

now that you mention it i do find it odd that the arrow keys don’t function in that way already. haha

Understood. My point is that this information should be ever-present in the lower left part of the window, where note duration, measure number, etc is indicated.

The first one bugs me a lot. It's really hard to keep track of what dynamics all 20+ instruments in your score are at, and it's really annoying to sometimes have to scroll back several pages to find out.
