As I'd understood things, dependencies should be in the AppImage, so I'm just reporting.
For the present I've just reverted to MuseScore-Studio-4.4.3.242971445-x86_64.AppImage

You need at least Ubuntu 22.04 (or equivalent).
Options:
-Upgrade your system.
-continue to use system that most probably does not receive security upgrades anymore, with a <4.5 version.
-maybe build it the app yourself. (you will need the correct Qt version)
You did not completely understand the Appimage dependency thing. Just saying.

Yep ... the fact that dependencies still showed said that something didn't match my expectations. I've not really spent any time looking into the details of AppImage dependencies.

AVL:MXE tends to be a reinstall rather than an upgrade, which can be a bit disruptive as I have to migrate licences for several commercial packages. I've been putting it off, but I really should get on and do it. I particularly like it, though, as it's IMHO the most stable and robust platform for music applications.

There seem to be only a few missed dependency fails, all(?) glibc related, so another option would be just to satisfy them. I think I'd just accept the fallbacks.

Thinking of some other probable benefits to installing a latest AVLinux, I think that's likely the route I'll take sometime soon.
