Plugin Manager empty in version 3.7
In MuseScore-3.7.0.5221075637-x86_64\bin\MuseScore3.exe, there are no entries in the Plugin Manger. Plugin Creator>File>Open> shows all the qml files in C:\Users\Jake\Documents\MuseScore3Development\Plugins. Reload Plugins reports "Plugins reloaded" but still no entries.
Same behavior if I change the Plugins Folder in >Edit>Preferences>
v3.6.2 works as expected

I had to use the 32 bit version on Windows 10 to get plugins working. Maybe it's a similar issue. There is mention of it here: https://musescore.org/en/node/342126
Also, 3.7 works like MS Portable so you would not expect to find plugins under C:\Users\, (as this is a feature of non-portable, installed software), but under the MS3.7 unzipped folder structure. Those in your C:\Users tree will be from your 3.6.2 installation.

No, it expects the plugins in %USERPROFILE%/Documents/MuseScore3Development/Plugins (on Windows)

Thanks for the correction.
Works for me (Windows 11), but as @yonah_ag mentioned you may want to give the 32-bit version a try
What operating system (Windows version) exactly?

OK, I think I may have a clue - when I copied over the older files from
C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\qml\QtQuick.2
of v3.62, it worked, looks like most of the qml files are now displayed, except none of the abc*.qml files ... bizarre ...

Well, those are from a different Qt version, the same that the 3.7 32-bit MuseScore uses, Qt 5.9.
The abc*.qml files may be needeing the newer Qt though or hit some version mismatch

Jojo you should rebrand Musescore 3.7 as Clefscore 3.7 or perhaps Clefscore 1.0, or something like that, and also change the splash screen and about screen to say Clefscore.

YES, it worked ! Plugin Manager is populated, even after clicking 'Reload'. The ABC ImpEx plug-in worked. MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.7.0.5784330917, revision: 0b546f0 on Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64. THANK YOU !!!

Thanks, 64-bit version now works for me too on Windows 10. I was on 32-bit to get plugins to show up.
