Since we are musicians we sometimes need software that isn't available
by official repositories. The Linux binary from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grfloorboard/ doesn't use qt5ct
plugin, it requires to build it from source, since qt5ct at least for
me was required to get rid of a font issue. The svn repository isn't
updated, it's needed to use the source from the file section. Actually I
experienced the Linux version as way to unstable and ended up
installing the Windows version using wine, however, theoretically other
and this Qt software not available by official repositories, could work
with Linux and might be very useful for musician.
