On MuseScore 4.1.1 AppImage for Linux [-a | --use-audio] options are unknown
Hello, my name is Antonio.
Good night.
I am using Ubuntu desktop 22.04. For the linux AppImage I downloaded, -a and --use-audio options are unknown.
MuseScore version is: 4.1.1.232071203 AppImage (linux).
When I run the next command on ubuntu terminal:
mscore4portable -a jack
I get this error:
MuseScore4: Unknown option "a".
If I run:
mscore4portable --use-audio jack
I get:
Musescore4: Unknown option 'use-audio'.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Take care.

Checking the manual by runing:

Probably the option [-a | --use-audio driver] was left there from version 3, and the manual needs to be updated too.
Take care.

This is not the only not working option from the man page (i didn't realize there existed a man page before)
e.g. -c, -E, -e, -p, -x, -I, -i, -L, -m, -n, -O, -s, -w
