[MU4 Task] [Maybe] Rename CMake project and executable file from `mscore` to `MuseScore` #13259

Open cbjeukendrup opened 2 years ago

cbjeukendrup commented 2 years ago

Task description The name of the CMake project and the name of the created executable file is still mscore. It would be nice to rename this to just MuseScore.

If we indeed want to do this, we should do it before the release of 4.0, because it might be a breaking change (as in: a significant difference from MU3) for Linux users. (On Windows, the name "mscore" is not used anyway, and on macOS, the change won't affect the normal use case, only running from command line might be affected.)

I agree it is strange to call the project mscore. It would be better to call it MuseScore, though I think the binary should still be called mscore on Linux, or at least musescore (lowercase). Setting OUTPUT_NAME or RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME to mscore or musescore might do the trick.

I 100% agree. It's something that's always bothered me

In linux terminal, musescore3 is the command to open just that. But 5 times out of 10 i only type musescore. mscore is fine by me, but I can create aliases for any command.

Just found out we need to be careful when changing the executable name, in order not to break uhm... Muse Sounds. https://github.com/orgs/musescore/discussions/17801#discussioncomment-9694585
