Description

Your idea

It would be cool if the user could export the selected parts to a single file (without resorting to workarounds), rather than each part to a single file (individually).

Problem to be solved

This will allow users to export scores consisting of the parts they need (in a single file).
(For example, I have a choir (SATB) and a piano. I only need to export SATB.)

Currently, you can export multiple parts to a single file only in PDF format. Recently, I had the need to export a bowed string section from the orchestra to an mp3 file. Instead, MuseScore suggests exporting each part to a separate file.
