Option to export a PDF file as grayscale #25406

Your idea

At the moment Musescore exports all of its black content in PDF as CMYK black - i. e., as registration black made with 100% of each of the four CMYK colours. It makes sense, as it has the ability to export

In a desktop publishing workflow (e.g. with Scribus), this would mean that all the black (text, staff, notes etc) made with Musescore is CMYK black, while the black text made with Scribus is 100% K black. In a full colour workflow this makes a difference, because the blacks print and look differently.

Could an option to export PDFs in grayscale, or an option to choose how to render black, whether registration or 100%K be implemented?

Problem to be solved

The difference in appearance between black notation and text items made with Musescore and text items made with other publishing software.
