Description
Your idea
Since most notation print formats are portrait, a portrait video export would be very useful for video space usage. The format would also work better for playback on mobile devices.
Problem to be solved
The video export formats all rely on landscape. As pointed out in #33397 , this results in a lot of wasted screen space.
