Problem with a huge album
I'm attempting to create an album of 12 separate MuseScore files: https://musescore.com/user/181766/sets/2511646
I've made sure that the number of instruments/voices are the same for all 12 scores (they may be empty though for some of the scores) and they are ordered the same way in all scores.
Using MuseScore 2.0.3 I end up with 91 pages (1641 measures).
The first problem is that I seem to loose all spacers from the original files except the first one.
I could live with that and insert them again even though there is a lot of them. Only this becomes an impossible task as MuseScore freezes for half a minute or so (using 100% CPU) every 1-2 minutes. I know there is known problem when the Navigation bar is on – I have turned off the Navigation bar without solving the problem.
I've tried to open the merged MuseScore file in the latest nightly build. It seems not to freeze as frequent as version 2.0.3, but it does some weird formating like a huge ”Great stave distance” (see attached sample) for some piano staves.
When I try to create the album from scratch in the latest nightly build, MuseScore is hung while doing the join of files (I had to abort MuseScore after more than an hour).
I want to build a single PDF file with consecutive page numbering of the entire score. I'm sort of lost as to what to do. Any suggestions?

There is no need to merge scores into a combined mscz to then produce a PDF with consecutive page numbers to then print that, you can create an almum and print dierctly, with consecutive page numbers (and could print to a PDF Printer to get a PDF instead of a printout)
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/albums#print

Thanks JoJo, that comes very close to what I want. I'll have to change the first title frame for each score before printing though (as I don't want the composer/lyricist details for each part of the score) but that is manageable. Also I get a new-page for every score – but that only adds a couple of pages in total, so I'm fine with that.
There is definitely some formatting issues in the latest nightly build. Is it too early to worry about that?
Thanks again for great and quick help!

feel free to open a new topic or even an issue about the nightly build formatting problems, with a score and steps to reproduce
