Description

Your idea

A feature which would allow us to export/import Preferences.

Problem to be solved

We already can export palettes as an MPAL, Styles as an MSS and Shortcuts as an XML. Why not a means for exporting our Preferences? This way we can restore Preferences or import them into another computer.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. First inspect how MuseScore currently exports palettes, styles, and shortcuts, then determine the preference data and an import/export format; done means preferences can be restored or transferred to another computer.
