Description

Your idea

Currently if you have a short piece of music, say a 4 bar rhythm that you want to add into another document (say a word document as part of a student worksheet) there is no easy way to save just that cropped piece of music without the surrounding page. It would be great if MuseScore had an option to save as a .tiff that could be cropped to size to remove any blank areas. This would be particularly helpful for blind users who are trying to create professional print documents.

Problem to be solved

The need to try and use 3rd party software to crop away blank areas before a music excerpt can be inserted into a document. This is also not possible for blind users to do manually.
