Of course this doesn’t facilitate USE flags or anything of the like, but you may find it more stable. I have tried using MuseScore on a few distributions from various package managers and I am sad to report that I have encountered numerous issues on every attempt. It seems that MuseScore 4 incurred a major hit to reliability when compared with MuseScore 3. These seem to me to be issues rooted within MuseScore’s development and nothing else. Cheers, Levi
