Handle range articulations on tied notes

[mnorrisvuw]

When a range includes tied notes, and an articulation is applied to the range, MuseScore currently adds it to every note in each tie rather than only the first. This often produces incorrect notation, such as having accents in the middle of a tied note. The user would then have to go through and delete all the incorrect accents.

This PR fixes this by filtering out tied-back notes, so that ordinary articulations are added only to the first note of a tie. Harmonic circles, however, are an exception to this rule — they continue to appear on every note in the tie chain. Applying an articulation to an individually selected tied continuation remains unaffected.

Fixes #22594.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Articulation palette application skips notes with a tie-back, except for strings-harmonic. Articulation toggling removes tied-back notes from range selections before it inserts or removes the articulation. It returns without starting an edit when no notes remain.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f9551

Range articulation changes now apply ordinary articulations only to the first note in tied groups while preserving harmonic and individually selected continuation behavior. No merge-blocking risk remains.
