Is my composition safe/secured?

Hello. I have a question does musescore have a ability to see my composition without sharing it publicly and is my composition protected because im worried someone might steal it and claim its theirs. A friend of mine said that musescore is not safe for composing

You could work offline and only save to your computer. But I don't think you need to go quite that far. I only save to my computer, however. Never to the cloud.

There are two different things involved here. The MuseScore Studio application runs locally on your computer. It cannot share your work with anyone anywhere. Only if you save your work to the musescore.com website is it possible for anyone (without physical access to your computer) to see your work. If you work in MuseScore Studio and save your work locally (on your computer's hard drive), it is perfectly safe. Your friend was likely thinking of the musescore.com score sharing site and conflating it with the application.
