Research direction

Start by reproducing the first-save behavior described in the issue and compare MU3 with MU4 on one of the listed desktop platforms. Trace the save flow to find where the proposed filename is selected; done means a new score uses its title as the default filename and the regression is verified against MU3 behavior.
