Description
Your idea
In the new score dialog, the "composer" field should be auto-filled:
We can either (1) remember what the user wrote in the last score or (2) get the user's full name from the system.
Problem to be solved
100% of the time when I write a new score I want my name auto-filled into the composer field.

Research direction
Start at the new score dialog and inspect how the composer field is initialized. Compare remembering the last entered composer with retrieving the user's full system name, then verify that a newly opened score has the expected default value and that existing score creation still works.
