Description
When there are no part scores open, i.e. there is only one tab, the part scores tab bar isn't really useful and just takes up screen space, so could as well be hidden.
### Your idea
Currenlty, MuseScore 4 and upwards is unable to have two scores open at the same time. However, MS4 still has a tab view for currently open scores. This is superfluous, takes up screen space, and gives an impression that you can open two scores in the same window. (pictures below)
### Problem to be solved
I suggest that we remove the tab-view until this is implemented, and move the score title to the center top of the window. I've added a short mockup I made of how this could look in GIMP further down.

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Locate the desktop score tab bar implementation and inspect how the number of open tabs is determined; done means the bar is hidden with one tab and remains available when multiple tabs are open.
