Multiple copies of app running
I'm on Mac OS, current version. I've recently downloaded the current version of MuseScore. When I "open recent" another copy of MuseScore launches. Both copies of MuseScore seem to work okay, but it makes me nervous. This is not normal on Mac OS. Please advise.
OS: macOS 15.3, Arch.: arm64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.2-251141402, revision: ac9d3bc

I believe that you are talking about this: When you open multiple scores, you get multiple instances of MuseScore Studio. This has been normal (on all operating systems) since the beginning of version 4.
That definitely sounds unusual, Mac apps typically don’t launch multiple copies like that. It could be a glitch with how MuseScore is handling recent files or possibly a permissions issue. I’d try fully uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that clears it up. Hopefully a fix comes soon if it’s a bug! https://thedoctiplus.com/
