project Time Counter
Is there such a plugin that would count the amount of time during which file (project) was opened?
This is necessary to find out how many hours I spent on creating a particular composition

It's almost a year after you posted this, but I too want this to happen. I sometimes do arrangements for people and I need to charge the hours but never know how long I was working on a project unless I count the hours manually. Please please please Musescore developers, add a time counter!!

Oh, I make arrangements too (just for myself for now) and that's why I need this plugin (because I usually spend 3 to 30 hours creating an arrangement)!
By the way, send me a link to your MuseScore account, I want to see your arrangements.

Seems like they don’t post their arrangements on musescore.com.
I’ll check out your stuff sometime.
Also, why not use a separate timer for now? Or learn to create a plug-in?

I don't know. I haven't set myself that goal yet, although in theory it could be done. but I'm lazy and right now it's easier for me to just use an external timer and figure out how much time I spend per day on the arrangement

Immediately after making your first edit save the score. When you have made your final edit save the score again with a different name. Compare the "last modified" time stamps of the two files in File Explorer (or an equivalent in a non-Windows environment) to find how long the file was open.
Of course, the time the file is open does not necessarily reflect the time you have spent working on it - coffee, lunch, random web surfing, sleeping will all be included. But if your client pays for that, so much the better.

Haha, thanks for the interest. No, I don't post my stuff on Musescore. I arrange privately for clients whenever I get them.
All the best.
