If I have an orchestral score with instrument names like "Bb Trumpet" or a title like "Sonata in F#" using nice looking unicode / utf-8 characters for flats and sharps these characters are also used in the auto-created filenames when exporting separate parts.

Request: replace such special characters by plain ASCII "#" and "b" when exporting to filenames.
Not all filesystems support such characters.

will look into this

As Instrument names don't contain sharps, I guess we can ignore that one and only replaves flat with b.

Oh ,but indeed they can happen in score names. Although there you'd have to jump through hoops to get them entered into the new score wizzard...
May still be worth fixing too.

Currently this got to wait though, until #106296: Can't create (additional) parts is fixed (in master)
