Description

Your idea

When I'm working on a score, I can stop at any time and resume my work later. I would like MuseScore to reposition itself on the last part tab and in the last position in the score so that I can continue without having to scroll to find the desired place. For small score it's easy for big it's annoying. As I know this is not the desired behaviour for everyone. Is it possible to create a parameter in the preferences to activate or deactivate this behaviour?

Problem to be solved

Position when re-open saved score.

Research direction

Start by tracing MuseScore's score save, close, and reopen flow, then inspect how application preferences are defined and applied. The requested behavior is complete when reopening a saved score can restore the last part tab and score position, with a preference to enable or disable that restoration.
