Combine two parts on one score staff but print separate parts?
For a large ensemble piece, I'd like to keep the full score to a more manageable size by combining parts for the same instrument -- for example, putting both Oboe 1 and Oboe 2 on a single staff. But when the parts are printed, I want a separate Oboe 1 part and Oboe 2 part.
I can get both parts on the same staff using voices, but there must be a way to print the voices as separate parts, but I'm not seeing it.
Any help is appreciated.

The way I can see is:
- add temporarily a second Oboe staff dircetly below the Oboe 1.
- select the combined oboe staff and use Tools/Explode (may be easier in the continuious view)
- then you have the second voice in this Oboe 2 staff
- generate parts and print them
- finally don't save the score to keep your original version (or make a copy)
Maybe there is another way I do not know.
You can create a specific part from only certain voices of an instrument; see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/parts#Customize_parts for more information.
