I really enjoy the possibility to apply/copy/paste a rythm, and I think the same feature with ligatures, articulations and some other expressive marks (why not dynamics?) would be useful too.
For example, I transcribed a long part with always the same skeleton, to print a beam above a rest:

r8 lad16-.[r lad-.] r | r8 lad16-.[r lad-.] r | r8 si16-.[r si-.] r | r8 si16-.[r si-.] r

I could apply a “8 16 16 16 16" rythm very easily, but I would have loved to apply a “x [ x ] x” ligature and a “x . x . x" articulation.
I know I could have wrote “simile”, I also know the case is a bit different as there are no “explicit” or “implicit” ligatures or articulations. But still, this would be very useful!
To make it even more easy-to-use, what about mixing rythms and articulations in a same feature?
