Rename the functions explode/implode to something less martial

[Jojo-Schmitz]

Your idea

I don't like the terms explode/implode, in something as peacefull as a notation software.

Several option for renaming those:

1. Scatter/Gather
2. Distribute/Collect
3. Split/Merge (#issuecomment-2093682344)
4. Extend/Reduce
5. ????/Combine
6. Divide/Conquer (so far for being too martialic 😜)
7. Unzip/Zip :-) (#issuecomment-2098326570)
8. Part/Join (#issuecomment-2098326570)

Maybe more...

Problem to be solved

Issue came up in https://musescore.org/en/node/363579#comment-1240064 ff.

Prior art

Seems Finale calls these functions explode/implode, and MuseScore tried to follow that.

The Finale plugin JW Staff Polyphony though uses Merge and Split.

Additional context

No response

Perhaps "Split chords and voices" and "Merge staves".

[XiaoMigros]

It can also be used to merge voices in a single staff though...

[Fristover]

Maybe also add an option to split within the same staff? As far as I remember (no PC nearby) the current "Explode" function moves everything to a different staff so it would be a nice thing to have...
(I can make an issue for this if it makes sense)

zip / unzip staves and voices :)
join / part staves and voices
But I also like merge/split staves and voices
