The result is the same, no icon.
I confirm, this problem is also present on Ubuntu 20.04.
Using the official MuseScore 4.0.0 AppImage.
Perhaps not everybody wants a desktop icon for every installed application. (i don't).

How do you find the program you want to find if it doesn't display an icon? I'm not talking about the literal icon on the desktop, which I do not care about, but rather the icon in the taskbar while the program is open, which is absent.
I believe we are talking here about the absence of an icon which is supposed to be embedded inside the application (AppImage).
Linux (and other op systems) display/s this icon in the likes of task managers while the app is running.
Without it, the user has a harder time identifying the Musescore app while switching running applications.
Therefore this icon is unrelated to desktop icons the user may create, shortcuts, etc.
I have the same issue on Appimage 4.0.2.
It was fine in 3.6.
