Export (e.g., mp3, mxml) file names in 3.6, for FooBar.mscz, are now "FooBar - Full Score.mp3" etc. "Full Score" is useless and irrelevant, even if there are parts, and embedded spaces break naive shell scripts. This should be fixed before it gets out as standard. "FooBar.mp3" and "FooBar-Flute.mp3", as it was in 3.5, is far preferable.

I have a (rather strong) dislike for this too. I am carefully avoiding spaces in filenames since ages, and now would be forced to rename those away after export, horrible. And that " - Full Score" is utterly redundant

I have no reason to assume those to behave differently. I know that PDF is a bit differente (that Score_and_parts thingy) and that SVG and PNG export pagewise with the pagenumber appended to the filename.

3.6.0
