Could you post a screenshot? None of the developer has a retina display so it's hard to develop support for it. My understanding was that it was already working actually... (After some thought, I might be the only one with a mac :) an old white macbook)
[Mac] Add 2x resolution support for retina displays
⇒
[Mac] Add 2x resolution support for retina displays (text & score)
Adding the NSPrincipalClass key worked to get the main score and all text drawing @2x. It looks great :)
Note this additional step also on the page referenced above:
Because Mac OS seems to cache the info.plists you may have to logout and login again, or alternatively copy the app bundle and insert it again at the same location. Then delete the old app bundle.
I just duplicated the app (CMD-D) and ran the copy.
Attached before & after screenshots.
So, it seems the fix for the text & score drawing is to apply this key to the Info.plist in the source tree.
I'll file a separate feature request for @2x artwork (e.g., tool icons, splash screen, etc.)
FWIW, the same trick should work for MuseScore 1.3 but you will have to disable GateKeeper because the app bundle is signed. If the info.plist is modified, GateKeeper will probably be unhappy and refuse to launch MuseScore.

You might want to try to add
at the top of the Info.plist.

Filed #20707: [Mac] Add @2x artwork (icons, splash screen, etc.) for retina displays for @2x artwork for graphic elements.
Ok. I will commit the Info.plist ASAP.

Wouldn't this warrant a re-roll resp. re-sign of the official 1.3 version?
Not really... first this and then? let's focus on 2.0. MuseScore 1.3 is usable on a mac with retina.
Oh, OK, I though it would not be usable on Retina currently
