version 4 scores open at 400% zoom
When ever I open a score in Muse 4 it is gigantic- zoomed in by 400% and I have to zoom out to 100% every time. I can't find a setting to change this.

In Preferences->Canvas you can set the default zoom setting.

My default zoom setting is 100% but the scoresoften open at 400%, not always, and it will say 0% until I start clicking on the magnifying glass and then it goes to 400%
For some people the default zoom is huge when the Navigator is opened by default. Is that maybe the case for you too? (Would be helpful for us to know when fixing this)

Every time I open a score via right-click, open with, but not if I open it from withing MuseScore and the startcenter

So it seems the Startcenter correctly inititalizes that zoom value, also File > Open, but that only if it is a 4.x score

I think your experience matches mine.

I think I found a workaround: instead of setting preferences to 100%, set it to page width (that IMHO is the better setting anyway)
I can confirm this is found both on MacBook Pro 2019 Ventura 13.1 AND Win 11 (haven't dug into OS config). Mac has two 36" external monitors, Win has one 27" external. On Mac I've set prefs/canvas/zoom to 2 page and now the score comes up readable, but every part created during a session is totally zoomed in. I can make the parts (individually) revert to normal size by:
1. Toggle between full screen and not full screen. E.g. if I'm not in full screen, then going to full screen (via Mac control, not MS) forces the part to normal size, and leaving full screen it stays normal size. If I am in full screen when I open a part, then leaving full screen makes the part go back to normal size.
2. Moving MS from my large monitor to my laptop display, and once again, once the part is forced to normal size it sticks there.
