.mus file
Two questions, which I hope can be answered.
(a) I have been using MusicTime for the last 30 years, and I am considering changing now. However, all my work on this program produces .mus files, which I need to be able to access. Can Musescore accommodate .mus files?
(b) Also, can I install a more personalised banjo sound. The current styles are all metal strings, whereas fingerstyle banjo players use nylon or gut strings which produce a less strident tone.
Thank you

You can use whatever soundfonts (sound libraries) you can provide, if they are in .sf2 sound font format.
MuseScore does not read any of the file formats (which are usually patented, anyway) of other applications, but if that other application can produce MusicXML files (I know some others can), you can use that medium of exchange. Then there is the MIDI format, which will get the notes across, but not much else, and a lot of work is required to construct a decent-looking score. MusicXML is best.

It seems Encore can read MusicTime files and produce musicXml files. So if you can find someone with a valid Encore license you might be able to convert your files. See this post where someone wants to the the same as you, except import the musicXml-files into Sibelius. But MuseScore will work as well:
