Help! I'm trying to download musescore for linux. I followed the steps but I keep running into No such file or directory on my screen after the chmod. Any ideas?

Welcome. What Linux?
After downloading (?) from properties did you make the file executable?
Which distribution of Linux? It sounds you're talking about the Appimage (?), it's only available on a 64bit system, not on a 32bit system. Be sure you're in the right directory by running "chmod" from terminal. Alternatively select the file inside a file manager via right click select it "executable".

Or 32 bit if you're satisfied with a 7-week version ;-)
OS: Linux Mint 19.1, Arch.: i386, MuseScore version (32-bit): 3.2.s20190704+dfsg1-1~ppa1804+1 (Ubuntu bionic/i386), MuseScore build number (unset), revision: 7d0a917

@Shoichi: But is it (MS 3.x) only available for Ubuntu derivates? And (I don't know), is it available via the download webpage?

But don't ask me difficult questions :)
I install them from Application Manager, maybe even from here?

It's not a problem, as you know if I don't know the answers I invent them :)
Then some 'Giobbe' will come to the rescue.

I'm sure you don't mean chmod, which is for setting files' permissions and won't tell you anything about the directory you're in. Most users set up their command prompt to show the current directory, but if that's not the case, use the 'pwd' (print working directory) command to find out where you are.

Well, on an AppImage a 'chmod +x' is needed in order to be able to execute it.
Additionally you may need to add the directors that AppImage is in (or the current directory) to your PATH though (unlike DOS/Windows, the current directory is not searched for executables by default)
