Once a single score has been opened, press Cmd-O to open a new one and ... a new instance of MuseScore 4 will be created, instead of opening the score as a tab of the existing window.
This is not a new window of the same app, rather a new app launch.
I now have 4 scores open, and 4 MuseScore icons in the Dock.

Reported numerous times before and currently by design

This is really bad design and inconsistency.
Tabs available suggesting option to have many documents open in one instance. still opening many instances.

I hope they fix this soon. No other app behaves like this. Imagine if you had to spawn a new web browser instance for every tab... Bad design indeed.
