Description
Your idea
Closing the last/only score in a file with COMMAND + W should react the same way as clicking on the cross (x) of the score panel.
Problem to be solved
When closing the last/only score/instrument in a file in macOS (13.5) with COMMAND + W, MS 4.1.1 is closing the instance if there are more files open (which is ok.) or is closing the app (which is not ok.). It takes more time to reopen the app again than just open another MS file.
Prior art
No. MS 3.6 works as wished

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Command+W behavior on macOS 13.5 with one score open, comparing it with clicking the score panel's close button and with MuseScore 3.6. Trace the macOS window-closing path and verify that closing the last score does not quit the app while preserving the expected behavior when multiple files are open.
