"Edit element" / keyboard nudge non-functional for notes #31593
Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Select a note
- Press F2 or use context menu to enter Edit mode
- Press cursor keys to move note
Result: very erratic. Mostly nothing happens at all, but sometimes I see the pitch change dramatically (down to lowest possible pitch, C-1), sometimes I see leading space increased, and occasionally a crash (I don't have specific steps for that, though).

Additional context
Console output isn't very helpful. It does report edit mode was initiated.
Edit mode / keyboard nudge does appear to work normally for at least some elements - like articulations and time signatures. Key signatures don't work either, though (but do in 4.6.5). Clefs don't work in 4.7 or 4.6.5, and "Edit element" doesn't appear in the context menu so I guess that's by design.
Behavior seems independent of whether "snap to grid" is enabled.
I wonder if #29287 might involved here somehow, but it was was also ported to 4.6 which seems to work fine.
