Allow each staff to be assigned to different MIDI channels when creating MIDI files
I use Music typesetting to prepare MIDI files to play in software synthesisers.
Other tools such as MUP (http://www.arkkra.com) and Lilypond allow each staff to be
assigned to a separate MIDI channel.
In addition, separate voices should be configurable to output to separate MIDI channels.
For example, if you typeset a hymn on a treble and bass clef piano score, each part - Soprano, Alto,
Tenor and Bass could be sent to different MIDI channels.
By the way, I am very impressed with the power of Musescore. Well done!

If you typeset a hymn on two vocal staves instead of a piano score does it assign the two staves to separate MIDI channels?
I doubt there is a way to separate voices on the same staff.
It is my guess that it can be done, but it is not in the handbook. This says in page 35 that is similar that layers in other software and Finale says it is doable:

So I guess it is very possible that it can be done in MuseScore.
I do need to have this feature for horns, trumpets and voices. Specially when I make Rehearsal recordings and rehearsal tracks for my solo students.
