Known issues
Some macOS users who used MuseScore 3.0.3 experience a crash on start up. The reason is a bug in WebEngine of the Start Center. There is a workaround which allows running MuseScore without problems. Do the following:
1. Open any mscz/mscx file using double-click on a file (when you open a file, MuseScore doesn't show the Start Center)
2. MuseScore should open without issues
3. Go to Preferences...
4. Turn the checkbox "Show Start Center on startup" off

Do not shout (using capital letters) ;-)
Try: /Applications/MuseScore\ 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mscore -w
run and open preferences, disable start center.

this worked! thank you. It did crash 2 more times opening files but now is staying open.
Would it have had anything to do with having just inserted a text box and trying to move it?

open any file = double click the file so MuseScore will bi-pass the start center.

This did not fix the problem. The program says that the previous session was shutdown unexpectedly and offers to restore (yes or no) Either way the program does not launch. This is very frustrating. I use this app daily.
Disregard the previous comment, I was able to get into the preferences tab to make the changes which resolved the issue.
Thanks for the new release. But I want to put the following question.
I currently use with MS2 some usefull plugin as:
- chord identifier;
- haltime;
- doubletime, etc.
They don't work anymore with MS3. Do you think we'll find these plugin updeted soon?
Thanks in advance for your reoly.

It's not totally clear which instructions you followed, there have been a few different suggestions given. How about just double-clicking a score in Finder rather than trying to start from the program icon?

#281867: "MuseScore quit unexpectedly" when closing MuseScore 3.0.[1-5] on macOS with a MIDI device? If so the corresponding PR still waits on getting merged
I tried double-clicking on an existing score, but I am still getting this message: "The previous session quit unexpectedly. Restore session?" . No matter what I do, click "yes" or "no" or close the dialogue box, it still crashes. What now?

Run it from the command line using -w at the end.
On Mac OS High Sierra in the activity monitor, you can force quit the Musescore process and not produce the "unexpected quit" message. ????????
Unchecking Start Centre worked for us. I hope this will be fixed asap.

Anatly-os has requested people to test the prerelease version of 3.0.5 on their Macs. See https://musescore.org/en/node/285052#comment-901943
Hi,
It seems as though this update has oddly changed all of my pieces to have only piano.
E.g, Orchestrated arrangements changing all instruments to piano.
As you can probably tell this isn't very good for writing and a fix would be greatly appreciated.
