This is very easy to take care of, but it brings up a related question: the "MuseScore: " at the beginning of most dialog's titles. This is highly unusual, at least in the Mac environment; is it expected on Windows or Linux? If not, I propose removing it from the various UI files.

I'm on Windows, and I see it on most of MuseScore Windows except for Start Center which doesn't. I think it is useful when alt-tabbing to know what main application a window belongs to.

I may have been unclear: I see this in most MuseScore windows on Mac, too. What I'm wondering about is other applications, which can be useful to determine the official or de facto standard.

That sounds to me like reason enough to change to match. As to Alt+Tab, doesn't that group modal dialogs together with the main window?

So then I think there's no reason not to make this change.
