Description
Your idea
Please add a checkbox to MIDI export dialog to allow exporting no CC info and setting all note channels to 1.
Problem to be solved
Lots of us compose in Musecore then export MIDI to DAW for rendering. And we have to go through every midi item for every CC channel and remove volume, program, chorus level, pan, effects CC data that Musescore exports. It's a nuisance. The CC data has to be removed because it interferes with whatever template you have carefully set up in your DAW

Research direction
Start by locating the MIDI export dialog and the MIDI export path in MuseScore. Trace how control-change data and note channels are written, then verify that the new export option omits CC data and sets all note channels to 1.
