Description
Your idea
In MS3, you were able to dock the Mixer on the side of the UI (see picture). I think this was very useful, and it seems this is not possible in MS4.
Problem to be solved
For some users (especially laptop users with smaller screens) it would help by not having the mixer intrude on the vertical space.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by running MuseScore 4 and inspecting the Mixer UI and its docking entry points, comparing them with the MS3 behavior shown in the issue image. Done means the Mixer can dock to either side without intruding on vertical space, including on smaller screens.
