Exporting parts
Add to the handbook about how to fix the export feature if grayed out.
Remove the export completion message. Unneeded. Would be nice to have an option to open the exported PDF's automatically.

You mean, add to the handbook that in order to export a file you have to open it first? That seems rather obvious to me, so perhaps I'm not understanding your scenario here.

This was added explicitly on request for those export types that take a bit more time (such as audio exports) as some people tried to open the resulting file before exporting was finished.

This could be a good suggestion, but I'd hate it when running in batch-convert mode personally. It's likely also very OS-dependant so it might be not as simple to implement.

You need to generate the parts in File>Parts first. I could not find that in the manual and is not obvious. However, this is a great feature. Just need the right documentation.
Regarding the message, thanks for explaining that to me. Two workarounds. Omit it for PDF's or display for a short time before closing.
Opening PDF's. I have a love/hate relationship with this since sometimes I want to open them automatically and other times not. The idea is to give it as an option. I suspect you can pass this to the actual PDF generator.

Apologies.. I've read the contents of your message but missed the title; thus not realizing you were talking about Export Parts instead of the generic Export of the score.
I indeed would favor some kind of message ticker for successful export.
Perhaps it's worth putting both request (export message & open PDF after export) as entries into the issue tracker. Use S5 - Suggestion for severity and leave all other fields at their default values.

You read like I do! No big deal. Will add to issue tracker.
Added a corresponding note to https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/opensaveexportprint#export, even though the hint to generate parts is just in the line above that

Grayed misspelled. How about adding File>Parts>Generate?

Thanks, yet another American English vs British English difference I wasn't aware of up till now, gray vs. grey (on top of my typo with a missung r)
The link to the Parts handbook page is just above that, and there it is explained, no need to duplicate information here

FWIW, this isn't really just British vs American, there are Americans who use grey, others who use gray.

Gray, grey, gray, grey.... I think the original addition to the handbook was neither but a misspelling. I know the across-the-pond variations and would not have corrected them. I guess I should recognize/recognise that I should apologize/apologise for creating any confusion. I should have organised/organized my thoughts better.
