Scalar Transposition
Musescore currently only supports Diatonic and Chromatic transposition.
Is there any chance to implement general Scalar Transpositions ?
I guess it will require an interface for a user to enter the required altered scale as there are too many to cover by default from a dropdown.
Modern composition is not completely diatonic in quite a lot of cases.

Sounds like something probably best left to a plugin that can one can customize according to your favorite non-Western scales.

Can you direct me to a manual for developing plugins for Musescore or doesnt it exist ? All I get is examples of plugins already done.

The available classes, elements and properties are documented in the plugin editor's help. Some more is in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/plugins-2x

I've just finished a plugin that can be used to transpose between different scale structures. Mappings are specified on a note-by-note basis, rather than choosing from a list of predefined scales. It’s a less direct — but more versatile — approach to the task. At any rate I hope composers might find it useful. I plan to upload it (and a handful of related plugins) to the MuseScore repository soon, but I’ll post it here in case anyone would like to check it out.

QUESTION: HOW TO EDIT .QML FILE ?
I would like to edit the Note-to-Note file so that it will automatically load a particular mapping, which I continually re-use. Can you tell me where in the file to do this, and what code to put in ? Thank you very much.

Using any plain text editor, like NotePad
