This doesn't obviously fix the problem of the missing dependency.  I

I would like to add my vote to this issue. I am a music teacher relying
heavily on Frescobaldi. It was never broken in the last 10 years on UBS and
this time I was taken by surprise, hoping that I can easily install 3.2
from code - but failed miserably and wasted many hours.

I understand if nobody has the time to fix this. But I would like to say my
opinion on the importance of Frescobaldi.

Music production, performance and education are closely connected. Many, if
not most of us musicians teach in addition to music making. *Especially
during and after Covid. *
In that light, Ubuntu Studio could reconsider the importance of
Frescobaldi. It plays a crucial role in music education (alongside
Lilypond, of course:-) and should have a status same as Ardour or Jack; and
not treated as a secondary 'add-on'.
