"Input by duration" note input preference changes #26395

Description

@avvvvve

This needs design signoff from @bkunda


Current default state

This is about the "Include preview notes in playback (input by duration only)" checkbox

Changes

  • Make the setting ON by default (@Tantacrul's suggestion, which I'm in favor of)
  • Put the setting beneath the "Play chord symbols and Nashville numbers" checkbox
    • Reasoning: the other three settings apply to all note input modes, so the more general options should be higher up. Also, "Playback duration" should not fall between other checkboxes because it applies to the whole group.
  • (Still needs design signoff) Update the copy to make it less vague and align it to other settings. Options:
    • 'Play when setting pitch (input by duration mode only)'
    • 'Play when setting pitch with arrow keys (input by duration mode only)'
      • 👍 Ben's pick

That would get us (for 4.5) to this:

...and later, when other in-progress MIDI preferences are ready, it would all come together like this:
