Resolves: #35434

The first commit is the fix. The second makes a list selection within one chord (e.g. both notes of a chord, or a note and its staccato) slur the way a single selected note does: the slur now follows a tie chain to its last note and opens its end handle for editing. Before #35434 (e.g. in 4.4.4), such a selection was slurred directly to the next chord (i.e. ignoring tie chains and not selecting the handle for editing).

The second commit is optional. Although it deletes the line the first commit fixes, the first is kept separate as the minimal fix: the second can be dropped without losing it.

…t connect to next note

For a list selection, doAddSlur() meant to slur a lone chord to the next
one, but compared firstChordRest, which is never set in that branch, so
the slur started and ended on the same chord.

Compare firstItem with secondItem instead.

A list selection that comes down to one chord was slurred to the next
chord directly, so unlike a single selected note it didn't follow tie
chains or open the slur's end handle for editing.

Add its slur the way a single note's is added instead.

Walkthrough

Slur creation now treats a selection containing one chord as a request for a self-slur, unless the chord is a trill cue note. For distinct endpoints, it creates a slur when at least one endpoint is a chord or rest and neither endpoint is a trill cue note. The prior logic that advanced a matching second endpoint to the next chord or rest was removed.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to 34b55

Repeatedly adding a slur from a tied chord can create overlapping duplicate slurs; this localized issue should be fixed before relying on the workflow.

Explanation

Issue #35434 requires S on a list-selected chord to create a slur to the next chord. The change removes the faulty endpoint advance and routes a selection that resolves to one chord through doAddSlur(firstItem, nullptr), which uses the single-note slur path. This implements the required next-chord behavior. The optional tie-chain handling also remains within this slur behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed change is limited to src/notation/internal/notationinteraction.cpp. All changed logic controls slur creation for list selections. The change has a direct connection to issue #35434 and introduces no unrelated behavior.
