Workaround

Project

MuseScore

Every time I open a score it launches a new version of the program instead of just opening a new tab. it's very inconvenient. anyone know how to fix that? in 3.6 it would just open the new score in a new tab.

Yes

I'm seeing the same thing :(

Issue

A new instance of MuseScore is launched every time a .mscz is opened from Finder

Steps to Reproduce

Open a .mscz file from Finder
Open another .mscz file from Finder

Previously, this would open the file in a new tab in the same instance.

Now, it launches a new instance of MuseScore

That's s intentional and by design

it feels like a bug or at least a design downgrade from 3.6. it's cumbersome especially when working on multiple scores at once.

I'm facing this issue even when I open a score with File > Open or Home > Scores
Is this also intentional?
