Export a musicXML-file in png-images(width*height pixel)
The formula :size_tenth = ((size_pixel * 25.4 ) / resolution_dpi ) * ( tenth / millimeters )
The parameters are :size_pixel
in a png-image generated by the command line MuseScore.exe -oresolution_ dpi
specified in MuseScore.exe -rtenth
: specified in musicXML <scaling/tenth>>millimeters
: specified in musicXML <scaling/miilimeters>size_tenth
: specified in musicXML <page-layout> <page-height> or <page-width> or <xx-margin>
the command line is :MuseScore.exe -s -m -r <resolution_dpi> musicXML.xml -o musicXML.png
Example :
"standard values" good enough to display a score on a standard screenmillimeters = 7 , tenth = 40 , resolution_dpi = 100
to have a score in a square 800x800 pixel :size_pixel = 800 pixel
size_tenth = ((800*25.4)/100)*(40/7) = 1161 tenths
in the musixXML.xml file :
<scaling>
<millimeters>7</millimeters>
<tenths>40<tenths>
</scaling>
<page-layout>
<page-height>1161<page-height>
<page-width>1161<page-width>
<page-margins>
<xx-margin>10</xx-margin>
... ( for all the margins )
</page-margins>
</page-layout>
The MuseScore command line to generate the png 800x800 pixels :MuseScore.exe -s -m -r 100 musicXML.xml -o musicXML.png

Does NOT work on MAC-OSX, MuseScore 2.1.0 : it is always A4 format.
It is OK on Windows10 MuseScore 2.1.0
In reply to Does NOT work on MAC-OSX,… by Frank Revolle
Workaround on Mac. In a script :
curScore.pageFormat.evenBottomMargin = margin ; // will be replaced with the margin in inch
curScore.pageFormat.evenLeftMargin = margin ;
curScore.pageFormat.evenTopMargin = margin ;
curScore.pageFormat.oddBottomMargin = margin ;
curScore.pageFormat.oddLeftMargin = margin ;
curScore.pageFormat.oddTopMargin = margin ;
curScore.pageFormat.size.width = width ; // will be replaced with the width in inch
curScore.pageFormat.size.height = height ; // will be replaced with the height in inch
curScore.pageFormat.printableWidth = pwidth ;// will be replaced with the printable width in inch
curScore.doLayout();
