Would everyone who uses this checkbox be ok with a change from "For

I can't even remember who implemented that, or why. I think it was a
patch that I just passed along. From a translator's perspective, the
word "for" in English is actually kind of problematic. I would be
happiest just saying something like "[x] Printable"
I'll start with saying I had honestly never noticed nor used the
checkbox (!!). That's because for print (preview) or Lilypond export
I've always happily used the 'Export content" dropdown.
I do see a use case for this when, maybe, you want to make sure a
segment is *never* printed/exported (e.g. a more MIDI-performance
friendly segment vs. a copy which is better for notation??)...
So maybe this should have been the reverse, something like "Exclude from
print" or "exclude from Lilypond export" and be off by default. But if
one were to change that now I imagine it would (potentially) mess all
files saved before (as it's a segment parameter).
One possibility could be to just call it "Print" ? It's a checkbox so
with a good tooltip ("Use the segment when generating Lilypond or
Printing") the functionality should be quite clear?
Technically I can see why it was called "For Notation", that's because
this strictly speaking this defines if the segment is exported to
lilypond (there is an Export > Lylipoind functionality and it is also
affected by this checkbox!). Then, of course, Lilypond is also used
'behind the scenes' for printing :-)
So maybe "Export to Lilypond / Print" could also be a possibility...
This would be the most "correct" description for the checkbox and it
_does_ look like this checkbox alone could take up all that bottom
line... but I'm not sure if that's too long for a checkbox label :-)
My two cents,

Though I have no idea how to translate "printable" either. Good thing I
don't speak git and I'm kind of sidelined. lol
Impresionable? Is that even a word?
No, moron, the word is imprimir, not impresionar. Imprimible. Yes.
Imprimible is a word. It means "printable." I think we're good to go on
that score. My vote is for "printable" because it's easy to translate,
and it's reasonably easy to understand what it means in terms of
functionality.
Though yes, I am slightly inebriated at the time of this writing, so I'm
rambling. I am not, however, rambling incoherently!
