The code to save individual parts still exists for the --score-parts
command line option, which can be used as follows:
mscore --score-parts Score.mscz | jq -j .partsBin[0] | base64 -d >Part.mscz
Sadly, MuseScore fails to load the resulting Part.mscz
. If you extract, it the content of the file appears to be valid, but it doesn't quite conform to the new way score files are structured in MuseScore 4.
I've heard this functionality was originally removed because users complained that the whole score was not saved when you chose "save as" while happening to be working on a part at that moment. So perhaps a dedicated "save part as individual musescore file" option in addition to the normal "save as" could be considered.
Came up again in https://musescore.org/en/node/366294
Describe the bug In MuseScore 3 it was possible to save a part as a separate/new musescore file. In MuseScore 4 this is no longer possible.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior The open part is saved as a new file. This file contains no other parts.
Additional context We're not talking about PDFs here. We're talking about creating a separate MSCX / MSCZ file for each part.
It might be better to design a new save / export option that explicitly offers to save parts rather than rely on a hidden aspect of "Save as" behaviour.
