I always want to close the score using the mid mouse button (clicking the wheel) like in browser. It is common UX element, so it could be useful for users.
I am not so sure about this. The X on the tab makes it very easy to close a score. I personally do not associate a middle mouse button click with closing the document that I am working on, so I would have found this irritating and confusing.
Clicking the mouse wheel puts the mouse in a scroll mode in everything I use. I click the mouse wheel, the cursor changes, and the page moves. It works like grabbed the scroll bars and moved them.
One common webbrowser-ish thing, though, is that middle-click on the tab, e.g. where I marked with a red ✘ in the attached image, closes the tab. I’d not be averse to that.
FWIW, MuseScore stayed away from middle button on purpose because the use (and availability) of this button is very different from one OS to another. Once, I worked on the addition of dragging the score with middle button: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2124

Please no!
Middle-click is “paste” under Unix/X11.

I'm on windows, so it sounds as though the result is OS specific.
Possibly the original request meant to say "middle-click on the tab." That would make much more sense.
of course, anything else doesn't make sense at all.
Up to now I never noticed that in IE11 indeed a middle click closes the tab

You learn something new every day. It works on chrome also.

I second this and this is used a lot of softwares. Visual Studio, for example.
