Steps to reproduce the issue:
- create/open a score with multiple Parts, e.g. Voice and Piano (template)
- save it with a dot in the file name, e.g. "sheet xyz Version 1.0.mscz"
- export it, e.g. as a PDF
- see the naming is as following:
- "sheet xyz Version 1.0.mscz"
- "sheet xyz Version 1.pdf"
- "sheet xyz Version 1-Piano.pdf" (for example, if you selected Piano)
Desired result (step 4.):
- "sheet xyz Version 1.0.mscz"
- "sheet xyz Version 1.0.pdf"
- "sheet xyz Version 1.0-Piano.pdf"
I found issue #14537 from 2012, which describes a very simmilar problem but was marked as solved:
https://musescore.org/en/node/14537
Also the reported MuseScore version is not 4.x-dev but the latest 4 release (version: 4.0.0-223472200
revision: 5485621).
Please excuse me if I filled in a metadata field incorrectly.

So #14537: Characters from dots onward are cut off in file name when saving/exporting is back... It was really solved back then
In reply to So #14537: Characters from… by Jojo-Schmitz
Yes, Strange that it came back. At least the person saving such a file, can later rename it to it's correct name.
Only a bigger problem if you export often or have many parts.
Trick/workaround for someone with many parts would be to use a script or a tool e.g. PowerToys PowerRename (Windows only, OpenSource).
