Plugins cannot read `scores` array (not available) and `curScore.name` always delivers "Score"

I can confirm that this is an issue, and makes development for plugins requiring information about the current score impossible. curScore.exerpts also always returns undefined, along with many other things we're supposed to have access to.

About curScore.excerpts: I think that one should work – looks like there's a 'c' missing in your example.

import QtQuick 2.0
import MuseScore 3.0
 
MuseScore {
      menuPath: "Plugins.pluginName"
      description: "Description goes here"
      version: "1.0"
      onRun: {
            console.log(curScore.excerpts)
            Qt.quit()
            }
      }

produces:

Running…
Plugin Details:

Description: Description goes here
Requires Score
Debug: [object Object]

Not the excerpts' names, but not 'undefined' either. But curScore.excerpts[0].title gives the name of the excerpt, so work like it should.

curScore.name indeed prints "Score", not helpful, but also by currenbt design, see below.

curScore.npages,curScore.nstaves,curScore.nmeasures, curScore.nparts work, but that's mostlty about it

Looking at the current documentation for Score shows that there is no property name at all, but there is for ScoreElement, which inherits from, and that gives the name of the class, so correctly gives "Score" here

And scores is commented out in the code with a TODO comment, as are many others, see for example https://dmitrio95.github.io/plugins/html/score_8h_source.html

I guess that because name is used already (for the name of the class/element), we'd need scoreName or something like that here?

A fix for curScore.name is pretty easy, once we agreed on the spelling of that property (as mentioned name is used for something else already, so we'd better pick anogther one, but then again we could also overwrite it.

a fix for the scores array is even easier

see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5021

Fixed in branch master, commit 1aa445eea2

_Fix #286707: add scores and Score.name back to plugin API

Also adding more APIs and some documentation for them.
