Can I set shortcut keys Num2 Num3 Num4… to correspond to superimposed second, third, and fourth intervals?
There might be an easier way (I’d be interested to know!), but personally I entered this directly in the keycommands_en.json file, like this (in this example, to add an octave, hence the 8):
{
"NoteInput.TransposeOrAddNotesToSelection?Definition=8" : [ "Ctrl+Alt+Num++" ]
},

Thank you, can’t I set it in Preferences?
I coud be wrong, but I don’t think so — that’s why I did it directly in the json file.
The shortcuts you can program in Preferences usually correspond to actions you can find in the menus. The ones you trigger via the popovers (except recently for Playing Techniques) generally aren’t accessible in Preferences > Key Commands.
That said, once you’re used to play around with the json file for keycommands, it’s not that difficult (I have set tenths of shortcuts this way, and I’m not a computer geek!)

Have you explored the note tools popover (shift-I)?

Yes, but this is not convenient enough. Because in Sibelius you can directly press the number keys
It’s still pretty convenient though:
You could always create a custom key command as @charles_piano did, then trigger it with a macro or Stream Deck, but honestly that seems like a bit of effort to save a couple of 10ths of a second.

Your example could be even more convenient with SHIFT I 4,6 
I love this function also for quick precise transpositions.

Good point! I wasn’t really thinking and just hit Shift-I and then some numbers, LOL!
Can’t be easier?
1.select the notes
2.press ‘enter’
3.click ‘Q’
4.click ‘shift+I’
5.type in ‘numbers’ for the desired intervals, seperate the numbers with comma if several.
6.click ‘enter’
Intervals will be inserted on every selected notes, couted from the selected note(s).
Not needed. The shift-I popover works without needing Chord mode to be on.

(This isn’t needed either.)
