New Musescore appimage doesn't fit screen
Screenshot says it all. Unusable. I use Musescore 2 with no problems. Using Linux Mint (Ubuntu version). Any way of forcing it not to be so enlarged?
Thanks for your help.

I have a similar problem on a Mint 64bit (which I could not solve) connected to a TV. Have you already tried https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/command-line-options ?
[-D | --monitor-resolution DPI]

I am on Mint 64 bit connected to a TV also. I haven't tried the command line options although I have tried changing my screen resolution in the operating system and that did not make any difference.

Almost certainly from the description it is a problem in determining the resolution (different versions of Qt we use probably being responsible, since the basic code at our end hasn't changed). So the "-D" option will almost certainly fix it.

Alas, no. I used -D 96 and the problem remains.

I guess that isn't the resolution that screen has

I tried -D 26 and some of the text etc becomes really small but other text, Musescore splash screen, windows etc are still large to the point of being unusable.

I know there are some QTxxxxx environment variables to control things like scaling of fonts and graphics etc for high DPI systems, it's possible one or more of those might be relevant. Unfortunately there are more combinations of OS, monitors, and resolution settings out the in the world than it is possible to test for in advance, so sometimes in the corner cases one might need to experiment.

Hi Marc,
As you are aware I posted this elsewhere but discovered I had previously asked a similar question on an old operating system so have reposted in case it helps someone reading here!
There is another cause I have discovered. This is on Linux.
Changing the DPI setting for me only changed the size of the text and the splash screen / windows etc were still HUGE!
I searched for the problem for qt5 programs generally and this led me to download the qt5 configuration tool, which told me the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is not correctly set. Current value: gtk2 Required value: qt5ct.
I then followed the instructions here:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/wiki-set-all-qt-apps-to-use-your-gtk-theme-…
to
Set environment variables in /etc/environment and add the following lines:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
Restart the system
which interestingly hasn't fixed the error in qt5ct, but has led to Musescore displaying perfectly, which was what I was after!
I do use a TV screen.
