Risk of closing the score before recording
Hello !
In older versions of MuseScore, in the "File" menu the option to "Close" the score was lower in the list of items.
In MuseScore 3.6 it is just above "Save" with the very big risk of accidentally clicking on it and losing your job.
Me, that bothers me a lot, my eagle eye is far behind me and my glasses very close in front of my now taupe eye. Moreover osteoarthritis makes me lose precision in my movements.
In short ! this novelty of the user interface, however harmless it may be, turns out to be inappropriate (for me at least).
What do you think ?

If you accidentally press Close or Exit, isn't there a Close Without Save/Cancel/Save warning?
The menu structure hasn't changes since quite a while. What 'older version' are you referring to?

Sure?
Well, if version 3.5.2 is an "older version" (I don't think so!), see the result with this version: OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.2.311459983, revision: 465e7b6
And now with the 3.6! OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.0.485471459, revision: 269baf7
I don't know where/when/why is the change?

Interesting. Didn't notice that and am not sure that change was intentional.

So, it's either an unintentional re-arrangement, or an intentional re-arrangement for the sake of "re-arranging something".

The change seems to have come here, with the changes to the export dialog:

No idea why, though. The PR comment says the intent was to "put the options in a bit more sensible order". Not sure that's really been achieved.
