AnthemScore 4.12 and Musescore 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 20.04

• Feb 26, 2021 - 19:04

When AnthemScore runs it creates a score in /tmp/Anthemxxxxx/somefile.xml
It then calls Musescore and passes that filename to open.

Musescore is generating a Load Error when presented with that filename on the call from AnthemScore.

If one attempts to manually navigate to the same file from within Musescore, nothing beneath the top level /tmp directory is visible (directories or files). The permissions on the /tmp directory are wide open.

Musescore is installed as a snap on the machine in question.

With previous installations of Musescore (non snap, if relevant) this did not occur; the hand off from AnthemScore was successful.

Any insights are welcome.

The AppImage problems were related to HIDPI display issues. Large icons, tiny menu text. Even with the -D command line option it was unable to render a usable interface. The monitor (laptop) is 3840x2160. I run Ubuntu at 1920X1080. I could send you a screenshot if you're curious. The xml file loads fine outside of the /tmp directory.

Try also setting the environment variable QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 (or 0, or explicitly unsettling it). This can also be relevant on some systems. Be sure also you didn't turn up the icon size in Edit / Preferences previously to workaround problems in the other versions you tried! One way or another there is definitely a solution. Might involve a combination the variable, command line, and preference settings. but normally finding the right one for your particular environment is all you need.

FWIW, I've never encountered a system that required adjustment to icon or font sizes in addition to the environment variable and -D. Most systems require only one of these, a very few might require both the environment variable and "-D". I've never encountered one that required more than this.
