Apple Silicon version ETA?
I understand not rushing to adopt a new technology as soon as it comes out. But Apple Silicon has been out since 2020 and it's a great technology, way faster than Intel. Musescore 4 is really sluggish running on Rosetta 2, especially when the score is orchestral and has several instruments. If it's a long piece, it gets even worse.
Can we please have an idea, at least of a period, like the second quarter of this year, or the second half of the year?

Probably with MuseScre 4.4, as the master branch is using Qt6 already and that's a prerequisite for supporting Apple silicone

I searched that page for Apple, nothing, then silicon, nothing. M1, nothing, M2, still nothing. But I saw this:
"On macOS, nothing will change; the oldest supported version remains macOS 10.14, which means that MuseScore can still run on 10+ years old Macs".
I read that as "we don't care about Apple Silicon, we care about older Macs". Making sure users can run the program in old Macs is great, but for users with Apple Silicon Macs, it's just horribly sluggish. Unless it is the same under Intel Macs, I haven't tried that, but I would have to take my old 2015 iMac out of the closet, update it and so on, which I'm not going to do.
Musescore devs really need to get up to speed on this.

As said, Qt6 is a prerequisite for supporting Apple silicone
