How to begin a new movement without a new page.
I am type-setting a work with multiple short movements. Each with different instrumentation, time and key signatures. I would like to have each movement not begin on a new page. In this particular case it's very wasteful of paper to have to treat each movement as a separate entity. Is there any way I can get musescore to support such a change within the same file, or some other method?

If you use the Section Break element instead of the Page Break element, it should take care of most of your requests already.
As for supporting different instrumentation: you'll have to add all instruments to the whole score, then make use of the 'hide empty staves' function to have them hidden in sections where they're not wanted.
Sure, use a section break from the Breaks & Spacers palette. This starts a new movement (resetting measure number, suppressing courtesy signatures, etc) without starting a new page. You can add text frames for movement titles etc.

Section break: not investigated that yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll play.

Can you please tell me. how do I get a nice new title like "II. Andante in C" with new movement, so it's precise and pleasant?

Insert either staff text attached to the first staff, or a text block before it, and customize the text within either.

I have the same need but also need to display the different movement titles in header or footers for each different part when printed out. So I guess the question is both how to start a new movement (with a section break), but also how to change movement title so this meta data is changed when you use the tag $:movementTitle: in header and footers. How is this accomplished?

There is none. $:movementTitle: is score wide.

Thanks for the answer! But does this mean that it is not possible to customize headers and footers across the various movements a work (the full score) consists of? I suspected that the different type of breaks (section, system, page) also introduced a "reset" of some config with the possibility to apply new values from this point and till the next break?

Indeed it does mean that. This may change once the old album feature gets reimplemented
