Bug description

The convention for the main window title bar is to report the application name, as well as any open file.
For example: Untitled - Notepad, or Document1 - Microsoft Word.

MuseScore appears to report only the open score name ... and several times.

This is the text that is shown both in the window title and also the taskbar and Alt+Tab task list windows.

When switching to MuseScore, the title text is often spoken more than once by the screen reader.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Press Windows + D to switch to the Windows desktop.
    (In fact, just switch to any other open application with Alt+Tab is also fine)
    The focus is now not on the MuseScore application.
    2, Press Alt+Tab to switch back to MuseScore.
    (Note, there are several other ways to switch tasks and these also yield similar results).
    Expected output: Screen reader should read the title and focus of MuseScore, e.g.
    Expected behaviour:
    Sonata 16 - MuseScore
    Actual behaviour:
    Sonata 16, Window, Sonata 16, Sonata 16
    (or similar with varied amounts of repetition depending on screen reader)
