Why does every file open in a new window in v4
In previous versions of MuseScore, opening a new file opens the file in a tab in the same window. In MuseScore 4, every file opens in a totally new window. This bothers me because it's not so easy to flip between tunes.
Is there a setting for this that I can change?
Comments
There's no setting, it just the way Mu4 works
Ecxactly what I also wondered! Now it is much more difficult! The tabs very easy and practical! Who decides these changes?

The core team. Apparently needed for the new sound system

Lot's of users share your frustration with MuseScore 4's approach to multiple scores. Are you on Window, MacOS, Linux?
I think in any redesign/restoration of Tabbed windows (within a single MuseScore instance) users would greatly benefit with the option of dragging to undock one or more tabbed windows ... and of course the option to drag to redock them if wanted.
