When using capture tool the produced image is different in size from original. Marc Sabatella pointed out (https://musescore.org/en/node/296001#comment-953318) that the correct resolution to get life-size image is 360 so maybe that should be the default instead of 300, that is the default now.
Fix version
3.4.0
Comments
We would need to verify this is the right default on all systems / screen resolutions etc, but at one time, it seemed to me according to my understanding of the code that this was the case.
This change wouldn't affect existing scores, just the behavior of the image capture tool itself, so it shouldn't be a big deal even if doesn't always work, but still, would be nice if it did.
360DPI is the internal setting. Actually it is 5*72
see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5416
takes effect only on new installs, after a factory reset, or after resetting that dialog page (Edit > Preferences > Export) to its defaults
Setting the default there or in the screen capture dialog to 360 is the workaround
