Upon launching the AppImage, I get a "symbol lookup error" message and the program terminates immediately, suggesting a missing library.
I already had to install a few packages for the AppImage to be able to run (mainly Qt5 libraries). Not sure if they were supposed to be installed by MuseScore*.AppImage install?
In any way if I am missing a lib it is hard to tell which (the symbol given by the error message is in a libstc++ which I already have; maybe I need to install another Qt 5 package, but which one?).

Technical details:
- Debian 11 (bullseye)
- Linux kernel 5.10
- 64bits
- AppImage obtained from the website, latest available (3.6.2)

Detailed command and error message:
~/.local/bin> ./MuseScore-3.6.2.548021370-x86_64.AppImage
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjack.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so
/tmp/.mount_MuseScz3UlYm/bin/mscore-portable: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_MuseScz3UlYm/bin/mscore-portable: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEED1Ev, version Qt_5

Best regards,

This (or something similar) also happens when trying to run the Snap version on a Ubuntu VM through GitHub Actions.

Run /snap/musescore/228/usr/bin/mscore -j convert_job3.json
  /snap/musescore/228/usr/bin/mscore -j convert_job3.json
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
/snap/musescore/228/usr/bin/mscore: symbol lookup error: /snap/musescore/228/usr/bin/mscore: undefined symbol: _ZN15QQmlPropertyMap4initEPK11QMetaObject, version Qt_5

Here's my script, in case it matters.

Separate issue, you're using snap (and should report this to the snap builder), the OP is using AppImage. Different symbol too
