Description

Your idea

In musescore we can separate scores by sections, say in a classical setting, perhaps a multi-movement string quartet can be divided by sections. It would be quite useful to be able to export audio (possibly pdf files too) of that specific section alone.

Problem to be solved

In those cases I tend to export the entire score (which at times can be upwards of an hour long) and I have to move the entire audio file into audacity then cut it up to finally export the section I want.
This idea can fix the struggle of doing all that.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how score sections are represented and where audio and PDF export are initiated. Done means a user can export only a selected section, without manually trimming the full audio export, with the intended PDF behavior defined.
