Issue type

Description with steps to reproduce

Install a plugin that modifies scores, such as Add Metronome Part
Create job.json file with input, plugin call, and output:

[
    {
      "in": "score.mscz",
      "plugin": "path/to/addMetronomePart.qml",
      "out": "modified_score.mscz"
    }
]

In CLI, run musescore4portable -j job.json
