Pin open "Show more" properties accordion

[iainhallam]

Your idea

Add a pin button to the "Show more" accordions in the properties panel. This should configure all "Show more" sections to stay open in the properties panel (and indeed could be a preference - whether to default to pinned).

Problem to be solved

When I'm editing in depth, I often want to access the properties that are hidden behind the "Show more" accordion, and if I click between several object of the same type, the accordion stays open. Click on blank space or a different type of object, though, and the state is forgotten. The next object I click on in the score has its "Show more" section closed. This is adding dozens if not hundreds of clicks to the process of preparing a score for publication.

Fwiw I believe this is the same issue/feature request as #15821 (comment) (but afaik was never made into an issue)

FWIW, instead of pinning open the "more" section, you could simply drag those elements to the main section.

@MarcSabatella That applies to the Palettes, but I believe this issue is about the Properties panel.

Oops, of course you are right! Similar requests have been made about the settings currently hidden under Appearance. I believe it was mentioned there were plans to eventually allow individual settings to be pinned.
