Description
Task description
The name of the CMake project and the name of the created executable file is still mscore. It would be nice to rename this to just MuseScore.
If we indeed want to do this, we should do it before the release of 4.0, because it might be a breaking change (as in: a significant difference from MU3) for Linux users. (On Windows, the name "mscore" is not used anyway, and on macOS, the change won't affect the normal use case, only running from command line might be affected.)
