Joining scores via the album feature should separate the scores by section breaks, so each added score starts with long instument names and has its measure counter reset to 1.
Well, deleting the page- and section break manually after the join is still possible.
Adding them manually it too, but I think it should be in by default, a that is IMHO the much more common case?
Inserting one score into another (or apend to it to its end) would be another feature worth being requested, but separate from the album feature, and there I'd agree that adding page- and section break should not be done,
This should be an option. I'm working on the score for a musical and I have each song in a separate file. Upon merge, I would want these on facing pages with no additional space placed between them.
It would be easy enough to add a page at the end of any one song where I wanted extra space, but I would have no way of indicating that I wanted space removed.
Also, you could create a 'blank page' score and add that in (lame, but would work).
having a section break being applied automagically (so measure count starts at 1) would IMHO be a sane default. As would at least a line break, esp. for cases where the next score doesn't start with a vertical frame, or a page break.
Deleting them is easy enough, to add them you need to find the place first. Also I think it is the more common use case and matches what a album is generally understood to be.
But of course these could also be options in the join dialog (with 'proper' defaults), so no adding/deleting after the join is needed.

and maybe a page break optionally
having section and page break on join would make it consistent with using print rather than join, wouldn't it?
As far as I understood the only difference between printing the scores individually vs. via album is the page numbering, or am I wrong here?
But indeed on joining to have page breaks might not be intended, although I still maintain that in the common uses case a section and line break is intended.
Page is indeed one of the difference between Print and Create. The main one being that print will work with different instrumentation, while Create will not. I added a simple test for it for the moment (number of staves and part must match for a score to be appended to another one)

And probably also by a page break.
I guess both should be optional... because I can think of cases where I want to scores to be really concatenated.

Fixed in 50a63f317c
I added a line and section break between scores.
