[Menvi-discuss] Creating multiple Scores in MuseScore

[Marc Sabatella]

Instead of using system or page breaks between songs, use section breaks
(on the Layout palette).  This does the same as a system break but also
performs other important functions like resetting the measure numbering,
suppressing the usual courtesy key and time signatures at the end of the
system if the new piece is in a different key or meter, adding a pause on
playback and resetting repeats to recognize the beginning of the piece,
etc.  So that plus adding a frame for the title is how you'd have multiple
songs in a single file.
