Add support for the 'Sebastian' SMuFL font (MuseScore 4)
Sebastian is a music font that looks similar to older printed music. It is alike Bravura, however is thinner, and overall (in my opinion) looks nicer.
The github page is here: https://github.com/fkretlow/sebastian/blob/master/README.md
The font is under the SIL Open Font license.

I would like to support the OP. Not only for Sebastian (which produces beautiful scores - and is buildin with Dorico), but for all SmuFL fonts available - free and commercial.

MuseScore can only built in free fonts.
Loading external fonts have the disadvantage to potentially not be available on a PC other than the score creator's, and in case of commercial fonts not on musescore.com.
Still the ability to load external fonts seems a good idea (and 3.7 proves that being possible), along with building in a selected few extra ones.

If one wants to play in the 'majors', then the standard options have to be at least equivalent as those of the competitors.

True, and possible if these are available under the SIL Open Font license
