Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the continuous-view entry point: open a score, switch to continuous view, and export it as PNG. Trace the export path and compare the output dimensions with the score; done means the exported image matches the score width without a blank right side, with the behavior checked on Windows 10.

Description

Describe the bug
When I am in continuous view and export my score as a PNG, the resulting PNG is twice as wide as it should be with the right side of the image blank.

It may also be a good idea to export scores as pages, even if in continuous view, or at least allow the user to select the format form a list.

To Reproduce
Open a score
Switch into continuous view
Export as PNG

Expected behavior
Exported image should be same size as score.
