Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the preferences implementation and the score and part-extract view code, then trace how page alignment is selected; done means a preference controls centered or left-aligned display consistently across all pages and both scores and extracts.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Your idea

Musescore 4.5 displays the score and part extracts centered after opening the file.
When playing the sheet music, the first sheet of music is currently displayed centered, but from the second page onwards it is left-aligned.

Please add the option to set the view to be centered or left-aligned by default in the preferences.
The setting should then affect all pages of a score or part extracts.

Advantages of left-aligned view with vertical display:
a) The right-hand space on the monitor can be used for the undocked mixer.
b) The view of the undocked mixer placed on the right-hand side and the left-aligned sheet music do not overlap.
