"Condense" a score before exporting.
When writing a piece in Musescore, because of the number of parts, the score becomes far too big. There needs to be a feature where one can "condense" the score so that all 3 clarinet parts will be viewed on one line (and the same for the other parts). This would make scores easier to print and easier to look at.

That combines the parts on the score and the individual part. I am asking for a feature that will allow the composer to write the parts out on individual lines and then press a button to condense the score so that the score can be printed bigger.

Voices or Implodes could be used, exporting Parts also. I don't think there are any automations (yet).

Keep in mind that when creating a part, you can specify which voices should be included in it.

@kuwitt, maybe I didn't quite understand the question. Is it clear to you what the need is?

As far as I understand, it means, if there's a simple procedure to combine staves of the same instrument ("line"=staff/instrument, "parts"=instrument groups. But I also could be wrong.
I know, this toppic is old, but is there something in developpment. I know the implode tool is great but it also changes the original part. Let me explain:
1. when i write the music i want to have all parts separately, 2 Flutes on 2 different lines, 2 oboes, ... .
2. Then when i want to print / export the music i want a condensed score where both flutes are on the same line, even maybe 3 percussion player. Yes, this can be done with the implode tool but:
3. the Parts are now also imploded. I want to have parts separated.
4. So the obvious solution is: Create a 3rd instrument which acts as the group: for flute 1 and 2 i create a "Flutes" and add the condensed part of those two." I also need to delete second voice when played "a 2" or change the second voice to the first when the two parts are homorhythmic.
5 Problem is, when i have to change a thing. i have to change it in the parts AND the imploded group
For me, as a user - not a developper - it would be much easier if i could create a new part "Condesned Score", select the instruments and select which instrumens to group together in one line without changing the original source, beeing the full score.
I'm very close to switch to another platform, like Dorico, but it would be a shame to throw away all the things i learned in musescore and i really like musescore in general.
