Export PDF in Continuous View
Although this turned out to have been a bug (https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/14929), I'd love for this to become an actual feature. Although not the most practical for physical printing, it was exceptionally useful for digital viewing.

Per the ISO 32000 standard for PDF, the page dimension limit is 14,400 PDF units in each direction. A PDF unit is 1/72 of an inch so the limit equates to a maximum page size of 200 x 200 inches. (5080 x 5080 mm).
So we can't have then infinitely wide or high.
Although more than 5 meters is quite large...

Oh, I see, thank you! Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but if we wanted to export a score in that sort of long-page view, would we be adjusting the page width/length, respectively, instead?

Yes. Continuos View is just a view. I am assuming this is for screen reading, not for printing? If it is for ease of reading and avoiding page turns, many PDF viewers can be set to a continuos view.

I can't seem to be able to make my page larger than 2000.00mm wide. My version is:
(64-bit): 4.1.0-231921402, revision: 2e3a93a
Also, if I want to export as PNG, this limitation wouldn't matter anyway, right?
I also think printing continuous would be very useful. I'd be using it to add scrolling notation on a video. In this scenario even pretty ridiculous widths can be useful.

Those 2000 millimeters seem to be a plain MuseScore restriction, the PDF format itself has larger limits (see above). Report this on GitHub, please.
Not sure about the limits for PNG and SVG,
But I guess we'd need to resort to the least common denominator here.
I would LOVE to have a continuous view PDF print format!!! It would be cool if this view would separate into pages for actual score printing.

You can't have both, an infinite length or width pdf and printing it page wise
