Beyond the ability of Musescore 4
If somebody manages a list of current impossibilities (i.e. problems to be solved in a later issue) : I found this one:
the 4 high C's in the Queen of the night aria " Hölle Rache" bar 25. (And probably any high C for sopranos):
the soprano keeps quiet during the bar (piano is going on, alone). She restarts at following bar (on F-E-F-G).

What do you mean by impossible? The high C's play fine on my system so it's likely the soundfont you are using doesn't have that note in it.

Please check bar 25 with my Musescore3 score enclosed (Queen of the night, if you can get it): it's OK with M3 but bar 25 remains dumb with M4. I had no problem with another score including (only) one high C but in Mozart's aria you have 8 in the same bar.
I will check again and I let you know if it is OK this time.

Please read my answer - I can hear the notes just fine.

"the 4 high C's in the Queen of the night aria " Hölle Rache" bar 25 ... the soprano keeps quiet"
Sorry, but I can confirm that playback failure for MS 4.0.2 with MuseSounds. According to Stave/Part properties, the "Usable pitch range" for a Professional soprano voice should go up to C6 - which is the missing note in this case.
There is a Github issue "Muse Sounds instruments playback range is too small #13894" which covers this entire topic, and in particular this report about the range limitations for the MuseSounds singing voices:

And this is indeed more complicated than I thought:
- a single instance of a C6 does play back (m.32)
- multiple instances of C6 separated by notes of other pitches do get played (mm.30-31)
- multiple repeated occurrences of adjacent C6 don't play (m.25, m.36)
