<body>Musescore is now only available as an Appimage and isn't as well supported as previously on Linux, it's missing some features from the Windows and MacOS versions. So it can't cause too much trouble to a system but I'm not sure how much help you would get compared to the past as a lot of users I know jumped ship when that happened. It had always been on an equal footing before. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 February 2023 15:33:03 GMT, Ross Gammon <ubuntustudio@the-gammons.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>Just to be clear. It is possible to package Musescore 4 in Ubuntu
(without waiting for Debian), and maybe put it in a ppa. But that
would require somebody with the necessary time and skills to
volunteer.</p>
<p>Installing stuff from upstream (from the musecore website) can be
risky, especially if you are running an older Ubuntu release.
There could be incompatibilities in the version of libraries that
Musescore 4 relies on. Will upstream support you in this case?
Ubuntu certainly cannot support you. If you are desperate to use
Musescore 4 (you cannot wait for Debian), then I would ask around
if anyone has had success using the upstream version of Musescore
4 on your version of Ubuntu before doing it. Otherwise you may
have to uninstall it later and clean up any mess yourself.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ross<br>

<div>Hi Paul,</div>

<div>Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for
stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release
updates are only considered if they are fixes for security
vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug
fixes with substantial benefit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Furthermore, that package comes unchanged from Debian,
which means there isn't an Ubuntu developer that touches it.
So, this is really up to if Debian picks it up, but then it
will only land in a later release. Additionally, Debian is
coming up on their bi-yearly freeze in which they begin their
release process for their next version, so there's probably
not a whole lot of activity to be happening until later this
year once that freeze starts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of that to say it's entirely out of our hands at this
point on the Ubuntu Studio level as we're not the ones dealing
with it; we're just putting it on the .iso image.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I hope you understand and I hope that helps.</div>
