Description
Your idea
For appropriate export types (eg, "All parts combined in one file" PDF), in the Export dialog, a column which defines how many copies of each part will be included.
Problem to be solved
This streamlines the process of printing, solving two problems:
- multiple copies where there are multiple players per part
Currently, there doesn't seem to be a great workflow for this. Either you have to print each individually and keep track of how many copies of certain parts you want, or do multiple combined exports (eg, one for all the parts that just need one copy, a second one for parts that need two copies) and then collate.
- allowing 0 copies of parts that never should be printed (eg combined parts that only exist for the main score)
Similarly, currently you need to select all the parts, and then remember which ones to de-select each time. With this feature, you could do "select all", and those parts would still not get included in the export.
