Concert pitch warning
It is very easy to forget to switch off a function concert pitch. It may cause wrong graphical output and wrong realisation on concert. Please is possible to allert warning for any graphical outputs (printing and graphical exports), that the concert pitch is on (when it is)?

That is different. Even if that is dealt with a warning window should still appear before exporting.
I just tripped over this as well.
Is it always invalid to export parts with Concert Pitch enabled?
The handbook seems to imply it should never be done, but doesn't really say it's invalid. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/concert-pitch
If it is invalid, it should not be allowed to happen. For example, just pop-up a dialog that says the concert pitch is enabled and must be disabled before the export can take place.

There is currently a bug that causes problems when you export parts with concert pitch enabled. This is not by design. See #285781: Non-default style settings in score get applied to all parts on reload, leading to bad transposition and other loss of data which includes this bug. It's supposed to be fixed in version 3.1 when it's released.

No it is not invalid at all, just not always the most clever idea

Fair enough, just wanted to be clear that it is a legitimate operation before continuing per below. I suppose I might want to see at least the score in concert pitch, so that might be a reason to export in concert pitch.
One other thing I noticed when accidentally exporting parts with concert pitch enabled: the score was displayed and exported in concert ptich (e.g. key of Bb throughput) as expected, and the trumpet parts were displayed in their key (C) on the parts tabs of the UI. But, in the exported pdf the trumpet notes were shifted to concert pitch using accidentals. I would have expected it to give me what was on the UI (preferred), or at least just use the key of concert pitch instead of accidentals -- then I would have also noticed concert pitch was enabled. Is this the expected behavior?
Perhaps this is part of the bug mentioned by mike320.

It is. Unfortunately the bug was discovered to late for the fix to make into 3.0.5. Solution for now is to delete the part and regenerate them.

It would be good that the warning allert would have buttons with offet to solve the problem: [To switch off] and [let it be on]. Maybe if someone needs similars with empty staves and so on...
