Music Symbols Fonts
I really like the look of the "font" used in this score: https://youtu.be/hl_6lAvMsKE?t=1440
I was wondering if anyone knew of a font that looks like this or a place where I can find more notation fonts than the default four that come with MuseScore (Bravura, Emmentaler, Gonville, and MuseJazz).

That one most probably is a hand-engraved font, not done by any computer.
MuseScore support those for you mentioned, and needs them built into the software

Likely, but that doesn't mean there aren't similar digital fonts.

From what I can tell, you can import more styles. I know that this would likely not be a super easy process to get another stylesheet in the correct format, but I doubt there are no options out there.

But no external Musical Fonts

There are four options for default fonts, which means that they're separated neatly in some way that allows for more to be added. There are examples of other music fonts out there. A quick google search gave me this. https://fonts2u.com/musicalsymbols.font
So, this can't be the only other font out there, and there's probably a better place to look for music notation specific fonts.

I don't see why I couldn't get another font to work with MuseScore. The fonts are stored somewhere, so I can just add another in the right format (or replace an old font if I really can't figure out how to add another) and I should be able to get it to work.

As I told you, the muscial fonts MuseScore uses need to be built into the program. They are not separate files in the installed versions of MuseScore.
Do add or change that you'd need to build MuseScore yourself.
But the scores then would look different on anybody else's MuseScore

I don't need to be able to share the scores with anyone else. All I'm looking for is a good place to go to find more fonts or a font out there that looks like the example I posted.

They'd need be SMuFL compliant and you'd need to build MuseScore yourself from the sources
