Musicxml LInebreak
I usually have two parts to any of my music and really want to have a linebreak between these parts when I export as musicxml. Can anyone advise on how to achieve this.

That even is the default and can get changed in Preferences > Export > MusicXML

So what is that final picture of? Different notation software?
It seems you have to take it up with them to allow their imported to honor those system breaks then..

It is the score when opened with a variety of programs that read the standard musicxml. which is supposed to be a standard script?

Does MuseScore import those system breaks?

Yes it imports the breaks but the section break shows up as a system break like the rest of the system breaks.

That is most probably due be a shortcoming of MusicXML, not supporting section breaks

Yes, but many programs ignore layout formatting when importing MusicXML (MuseScore does so as well for some options) as they have different default layout algorithms leading to manual adjustments not making sense in those programs.
Anyway, in this case for layout breaks, the MusicXML file exported by MuseScore does have the info according to the standard, so it is up to the other programs to (optionally) import it correctly. Open your MusicXML file with a text editor to see the
print new-systemelements being there.In reply to Yes, but many programs… by jeetee
Yes the print break lines are in the musicxml code. so as you say it I the Sound slice and Newzik files that do not recognise the layout formatting?
I will contact both with this query. thanks for your advise and guidance.

Maybe that fails with a section break?
That was an issue but should be fixed since 3.3, see #293751: [MusicXML export] missing print new-system after section break
Just add an explicit system break in MuseScore and the exported MusicXML will contain that break.
Inspect the attached examples created with 3.4.2. Added a system break at the end of measure 3, results in the following in measure 4 in MusicXML:
That element is the system break you're looking for.
So why are you assuming/thinking the break isn't there in your situation?
