Ver. 4.1.1: Score position and zoom factor not saved?
Version 4.1.1: When leaving MuseScore and reopening it, the score(s) are re-open at the beginning and at 100% zoom.
This is a regression from previous versions (the previous version I used was 2.3.2) where the position within the score (with some incertitude, it is true...) and its zoom factor were restored.
This is rather useful when working on a (maybe longish) score in several sessions.

"When leaving MuseScore and reopening it, the score(s) are re-open at the beginning and at 100% zoom."
Not sure about score position, but "100% zoom" can be adjusted with this general preference:

Thanks for your reply, but this is not my point:
when I close MuseScore with a score shown at x% at a certain point (perhaps more than one score, perhaps each shown at a different point of their length and at a different zoom factor), it would be nice to reopen MuseScore and have them shown as they were left and not at some default position and/or zoom factor.
Previous versions used to work this way (admittedly with some glitches, but still...) and I found it rather useful, as I use different zoom factors for different editing phases (150% - 200% during note entry, even 400% while placing ornaments, 75% - 100% during page balancing and page turning optimisation, ad so on...).
Zoom is a few mouse clicks away (again the mouse, though...) but locating the precise point where one had previously arrived within a given editing pass may be not obvious. And it USED TO WORK THIS WAY, why remove something useful?

Mu3 restored the zoom setting of the last the session. Mu4 doesn't have the session anymore, it could be multiple ones

Oh! I tried opening another score and, lo!, it is open in a different top-level window (oh, gosh! à la LibreOffice! More confusing items in the task bar...). By itself, this does not imply that multiple processes are run...
Still, as I selected "Preferences | General | Program start | Continue last session", I expected MS would continue the last session, whatever it was.
In fact, it does not: it actually re-opens the last open file (which may be different from the last closed "session"); and still not in the state at which it was left.
Given the aforementioned choice (multiple top-level windows), I see the resulting complexity; but not (yet?) the problem which led to the choice itself.
I will resort to add textual notes to the score about the editing process state, to be deleted (or updated) "next time" (unfortunately, I do not think textual notes can be searched...).
