Problem to be solved

MuseScore does not yet support audio export for a loop range
so that you always have to save a selection first.
If you do so and save a selection
previous tempo changes of the original score are lost
and you have to take another step.
It would be nice if MuseScore could automatically take that step for you.

Research direction

Start by locating the selection-save flow and how existing tempo changes are represented in the original score. Confirm that saving a selection adds a tempo mark at its first bar and preserves the original score’s tempo behavior; the issue names no file or test to begin with.
