Description

Your idea

The idea is to ask the user if he wants to create a front page in the creation sheet dialogue and the posibility to add some text pages after to create a table of content like the next image.

Problem to be solved

I unfortunately believe that files exported by MuseScore (.mscz) don't support plain text pages, but you can tell me if that's the case.
Also, I've already tried converting a PDF with a table of contents to .mscz on the website, but it failed several times.

Research direction

Start by examining the creation sheet dialogue and how MuseScore handles front matter, text pages, and .mscz export. Clarify whether plain text pages are supported and how a table of contents should be represented. Done means users can optionally add a front page and subsequent text pages when creating a sheet.
