You probably don't want to do this. It would be much easier if your master
just follow MuseScore master.
And you apply the master changes in your feature branch

No. I don't think so.
What I would do is the following

1/ make sure that your master
https://github.com/MmAlder/MuseScore/tree/master is identical to MuseScore
master
if you don't have MuseScore master as upstream run

git remote add upstream git://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git

then do

git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master
git push origin master --force


You should have your local master and your remote origin master identical
to MuseScore master

2/then switch to your own feature branch
git checkout Interval-guides
git rebase master

3/And then when you want to get MuseScore changes run the following from
time to time
git checkout master
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git checkout Interval-guides
git rebase master

Hope it makes sense.
