Project
Open Musicscore on Ubuntuw with high resolution/DPI monitor.
Application is simply unusable because all the icons in the GUI are so small I can't read them. This then means the text elements are squashed together.
Screen shot attached FYI.
I suspect this has to do with the use of Qt and the fact that the scaling of screen objects has not been properly addressed. Not sure if you can cater for this in Musescore settings/configuration or not.
Any advice on how to get the application to display all GUI elements properly with an appropriate scaling on a high DPI monitor would be great. I don't want to just reduce the DPI because that affects everything else.

See #106241: Monitor resolution detected incorrectly, making sizes wrong. In cases where the system reports the display resolution incorrectly, you need to override this with the "-D xxx" command line option, where "xxx" is the true resolution in DPI. That and/or set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 in your environment. On some systems, setting to to 0, or upsetting it, night be moire advisable.
But also, it appears you are using an unsupported third-party unstable build. These are always of questionable quality. Much better to use the official AppImage we provide here (see Download menu above), that might just work out of the box on your system.
