Description
Your idea
Currently, there is no way to change the default file naming, which MS does when saving a particular instrument out of the score (when doing an export)?
The only possibility left, is to rename the pdf-file afterwards. Which has to be done, for every single file - on and on..
Here there request again:
Let's say I have a score with violin and piano ("old melody"), and I want to export it's violin part. The file name will be now called "old melody-Violin.pdf".
Yet, I'd like to have a default file name like this "[Violin] $SCORE_NAME.pdf" or entirely generic (so that it works for all cases and Parts) "[$PART] $SCORE_NAME.pdf"
Problem to be solved
A field somewhere in the Preferences, where one can define those variables.
Not sure which would be the best place, yet I'd go with Preferences > Score > "Parts Naming Convention"
