Export in musescore

I'm having problems exporting scores in musescore 4.7, both in 4.7.1 and the new 4.7.2.
In the official package I can't export anything. When I click File -> Export, nothing happens, the export dialogue doesn't open.
If I install musescore-bin from Aur, the export dialogue works, but the ffmpeg libraries aren't recognized and I can't export to mp4.
I find the new bugtracker completely useless, so I don't know where I can get some help.

Re: Export in musescore

I can confirm that musescore-4.7.2 fails to show export dialog. Console output:

Exactly.
Is there a way to open an issue? I can't see a way to access the bugtracker.

There is already the issue reported to upstream: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/33289. However, it's closed because they won't fix non-AppImage builds.
You can try to create issue in the package repo here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ?state=all

It's not a packaging issue so there is no point.. The fundamental problem is the upstream Musescore code base is incompatible with qt-6.11.1 which is what Arch ships. In fact, it only runs at all right now because Arch applied some dirty hacks in: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … requests/5

Essentially, Musescore on Arch is a lottery. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's been like this for at least the last few years.. If you don't like it, use the Appimage...

Re: Export in musescore

You can run ldd/lddtree on musescore from official arch repo to find out what libs it needs and copy them to /usr/local/lib/ and preload them when you start musescore.

The problem is not the absence of libraries. If ldd shows shared library not found, a binary won't run at all.

Re: Export in musescore

I thought about some previous versions of qt, maybe even 5, but it may be to much libs, they could be not compatible and/or not stabile. And I don't use musescore, so I can't help more. That was just my idea, and I hoped it would be useful for someone.

In case you don't like having pacakges in home folders, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/musescore-bin repackages the appimage to be used systemwide .
