  4. Actual behaviour: it exports, but the Main score export doesn't include the second page, while Part export does.
    Expected behaviour: all contents export to musicxml.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a score containing text frames on a second page, then compare Main Score and Part MusicXML exports. Trace the separate export paths and identify why the Main Score omits later-page text. Done means all score contents, including text frames on subsequent pages, appear in the Main Score MusicXML export while the Part export remains correct.
