Opening Window size (Solved, kind of...)
Is there a way to set MS4.3 to open with less than a full-screen view? It often covers something that I need, and having to resize the window first is an unnecessary step. Especially on a 27 inch iMac!

Do you have a restore button in the title bar? A green and round button in MacOS, I think.

OK. Here on my computer with Linux, clicking the restore/maximize button makes the window much smaller leaving room for other windows beside it. If I then close MuseScore, the program remembers the smaller size and uses that the next time MuseScore is opened.

Humph. I've been using a Mac for 30 years, and I didn't know that was a thing...
It reduces it beautifully, but doesn't keep the state to a restart. But what you've just taught this old fart is a great help!
Thanks.

I think it should, so I recommend submitting a bug report.
Nice, that a Linux user could be of some help!

I'll do that, thanks.
