Hi Berteh as you ask for "find a way to merge lead and accompaniment in a new score.", I ve got a simple idea. I guess most of users want to add a aband to a single melody in a lead sheet. So most base MSC will carry only 1 instrument. Maybe it would be easy to do the following (its what I manually do with bandinmusescore) In the generated MSC, add an empty score on top. Copy data from the 1st score of the source MSC to this new score. Save style of the source MSC and restore in the target one. Hide all scores except the copied instrument. You get the exact same file as the source with the band playing.

thanks for the steps. I'm not sure all of these are readily supported by MS' API... but would you like to try to modify the script code accordingly and push PR? I'd gladly review and merge it.
