No, it is the other way round: MuseScore 3 won't be able to open/edit MuseScore 4 files
Same as with MuseScore 3 and 2, and before that with 2 and 1

Thanks JoJo
So I will be able to use 4 - that's a relief!

As that is true, is there some other way that Musescore 4 can write a Musescore 3 score file? I've looked at Export and the list of possibilities does not include what I want. It would be unfortunate if it were not possible, because I have sent a file to a Musescore 3 user who cannot open it and they cannot upgrade to 3 because they're on a previous version of Windows on which Musescore 4 cannot run.

If you have a GitHub accoiunt (it is free) you can downlöoad the artifact from my Repo, check https://github.com/Jojo-Schmitz/MuseScore/actions?query=branch%3A3.x, there the topmost build for your operating system, there the artifact for your architecture. Unpack and run just like you'd do for any nightly build
It is a moving target (hence the name "Evolution"), so re-check every now and then

I made a guide to installing MS3.7 Evolution a while back. It is for Windows 10 but the process is similar for other OSes. Installation only takes a couple of minutes and there is nothing to build.
