Description

Describe the enhancement

In LibreOffice, recently opened files are displayed as thumbnails when you launch the program. Each has a little cross on the right-hand top edge which allows the user to remove individual files from display. In MS, by contrast, the display of scores is all or nothing; you either keep every score you have ever opened on display or delete all of them (File > Open recent > Clear recent files).

SUGGESTION: Implement ability to remove recently opened file icons individually from the "Scores" section.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code that populates the Recent Scores list and find where to add a cross button per item. Then implement the removal logic with proper signal/slot connections in Qt.
