Well, they can be used, but may lead to problems later, hence the algorithm dor
a score’s filename tried to avoid them when generating a default filename from
the title, and on export parts (and now too in save as and export) for the
partnames. All these methods now use the same algorithm, so are consistent.
It truns space, line feed, \, / : *, ?, “, <, > and | into _ and also
‘trascribes’ umlauts:
static QString createDefaultFileName(QString fn)
{
//
// special characters in filenames are a constant source
// of trouble, this replaces some of them common in german:
//
fn = fn.simplified();
fn = fn.replace(QChar(' '), "_");
fn = fn.replace(QChar('\n'), "_");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xe4), "ae");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xf6), "oe");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xfc), "ue");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xdf), "ss");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xc4), "Ae");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xd6), "Oe");
fn = fn.replace(QChar(0xdc), "Ue");
fn = fn.replace( QRegExp( "[" + QRegExp::escape( "\\/:*?\"<>|" ) + "]" ),
"_" ); //FAT/NTFS special chars
return fn;
}
It may need additions for other ‘special’ chararacters, but that is what it
currently is doing and did since quite a long time for ‘normal filenames’

Who says umlauts, spaces, and other stuff (e.g., Japanese kanji) are not
suitable for filenames? Certainly on Win and Mac they are perfectly acceptable
and commonplace. The characters that are not suitable are characters that
delimit folders like '/' and '\' and maybe ':', but I am guessing the number of
such characters is extremely limited and easily enough dealt with in part
extraction.

“Export parts” would convert to ‘proper’ sanitized filenames, same as save does
for a new score.
My PR would just do the same thing on export and save as, when the part is the
active tab.

Hi Olivier, good to read you.
Parts are not always equal to staves. One can create a part with multiple
staves. The part name can be changed in File -> Parts : "Part Title". I believe
it will be used as filename.

My PR https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/1568 should fix that. Not
with a customizable name, but with giving a sane default

Hi,
In the box Staff Properties, it would be interesting to have a new field for
the file name of the generated parts.
(I don't like spaces and special characters in file names)
